Beautifully rhymed and metered
quatrains.
This is a delightful look at
bees and their work in the fields.
I like the comparison to human
gathering of sweetness. Nancy

A delightful theme about bumblebees. Makes me think of the song "I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee..." I especially enjoyed your seven syllable lines that have the feel of feminine line endings. Great rhymes and meter, as always. Point me in the direction of those "fields of life's completeness".

Hmmm, I should think I might want to be a bumblebee after this enchanting romp through the complete sweetness Brooke.
Your way with nature continues to astound and delight me. Boy is that boy spoilt with your talent...he is not featured IN this one, but you wrote it for him...how lovely he appreciates the little buzzers...I'm thinking he is going to applaud this one as the "bees knees" hahaha
Great work...cheers Phillippa xo

That little boy better be careful following the bumble bees. They won't care that he's a little tyke.
You poem was interesting, well rhymed and has a smooth flow.
Just pity the bumblebees who buzz around my deck, pool or flowers... They'll be met by a badminton racket!
Nicely done, John

Oh, I yearn for the days when I might see a bee. LOL! Snow again today! Sigh! I envy the bee, not having to go out and shovel again in the morning.
Lovely bit of whimsy. Wave your magic wand out there, will you? I'm a prisoner in the land of "Frozen".
Brought up good images, Brooke. Loved the artwork.

I won't bother you with my sad tales of how long it take to come up with a third stanza. LOL If I brightened your day, it was worth every single hair I pulled out. Thank you, Diane :-) Brooke

Through the years I have known you I have shared my poor husband's escapes with the deer and his peach trees and the gardening. Well, now he's decided he doesn't have enough ladybugs. He had me order 1800 ladybugs. He's talking about praying mantises, too. I'm sorry, but I draw a line a bumble bees. I know plants needs them but, I'm highly allergic to them. Loved your poem, it caused another rant.

Yeah, ordering bees seems a bit drastic, but I love the imported lady bugs, ready to eat their weight in aphids. LOL Thanks so much, Barbara :-)
