The triolet is a centuries old French repeating form of poetry. The poem consists of only eight lines, with a rhyme scheme of ABaAabAB. The first line is repeated as the fourth and seventh lines, and the second line repeats as the eighth line.
I almost always punctuate poetry, but in this case, it impedes the flow.
Hummingbirds and honeybees are among the creatures that pollinate flowers, fruits and vegetables as they fly from plant to plant in search of the nectar that keeps them alive. The pollination that occurs as a result of their search for food is entirely accidental on their part. Pollen sticks to their bodies and drops off as they flit from plant to plant, which is our good fortune. As much as one third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination.
