a reflective rispetto
A chapter in the book rispettos
Two hundred times

Two hundred times a bee's wings beat -- one fleeting second passes by. Yet what ovation greets this feat as laws of physics it defies? We see the bee in fluttered flight, then step around in nervous fright that it might wound us with its stings -- and notice not the beating wings. |

The rispetto is an old Tuscsan form of poetry that consists of two quatrains written in iambic tetrameter. The rhyme scheme of the first verse is abab and the rhyme of the second is ccdd. I wrote my first rispetto yesterday, inspired in part by Luna, who has composed them delightfully in the past. She teased me yesterday that my rispetto would probably start a run on rispettos, and who am I to disappoint a friend. So, Jenny, thus begins the run on rispettos. LOL :-)
