Comment from bard owl
Another thoughtful poem, Brooke. Such observations can only come from a poet's heart. The cause and effect of this gentle piece creates a feeling of security in the reader - just to know and be reminded that there is indeed serendipity and hope on fragile wings. Beautifully crafted, Brooke. Blessings, Linda

This is gorgeous, Brooke. You've chosen two things which fly so fast yet are so different and made it work very well indeed. I love this form that you utilise so very well.
Hugs

Comment from Belinda
Come to think of it, isn't it wonderful how nature preserves itself? Like you say, it is really by chance that the pollen is taken everywhere and results in our good fortune. I enjoy reading this triolet as it flows melodiously from one line to the other, despite the fact that some lines have to be repeated. (An afterthought: do you decide the form first, or the content first when writing your poems?)

Thank you, Belinda - yes, it is most wonderful. I try to match form to content - I have some topic or opening line, even, and then decide which form seems to suit it best and which form I'm in the mood to use. I actually started writing this poem as a pantoum, and three verses later realized it was never going to happen! LOL Brooke
Comment from fastdigits
I have not reviewed anything for a
few days, and now, as a gift I am
treated to two outstanding poems
in one sitting.
One can hear the beat of the tiny
vibrating wings of the hummingbird
as it sings its song of happiness
as it pollinates all of nature.
Well done

Comment from Rabianabian
Just goes to show that some insects are more than pests, eh? Great poem...I'm not sure what serendipity means, but it's an interesting word. Excellent job.

Serendipity is one of my favorite words because it has such poetic flow to it and because of its great meeting - it means a happy accident - when things work out in a great way even though nobody consciously worked to make it happen. Thanks, Mary :-) Brooke
Comment from tonydem
A lot more than meets the eye with this poem. Reading your authors notes. One third of the human food supply Wow! Do you know if that includes Ding Dongs, Yodels, and edible panties?
I'm just curious. This would be a good one for to read to kids and then explain it. And as usual it's in perfect form.
Well done Ms. Brooke

Thank you, Tony - I'm not so sure the buzzing bees had anything to do with the panties or the Ding Dongs - I'll have to look into the Yodels ;-) Brooke
Comment from perunest
I enjoyed the way you likened the clinging
pollen to hope - for it is hope for new life,
new beginnings. Another lovely poem from your
gifted mind! Carolyn

I found your author notes really helpful. I never knew the bee's pollination is an accident's. This is really new to me. Again I am awed by the way you write. You are very talented. Each line meticulously written and a soft flow that carries the poem beautifully. I love the imagery it portrays the vitality of life with nature. Take care RTR
