Love this ode to bees! 🐝 Have always been amazed by them. I knew a woman administrator who wore a bee pin everyday- reminding her that they should NOT be able to fly and yet . . .
We all know female worker bees! Especially the single Mom doing all she can to keep her family together. The bees are a wonderful example of how difficult life can be for so many just trying to make ends meet. We can all help out! We can help be the village!
How long have you been writing poetry, Suzanna? When I saw this one is your "Hometown Poem #100," it made me wonder if these have all been in your adult years, or earlier, too? (Am I allowed a couple more questions?) What gets you started on a poem, and how long do you typically spend in finishing one? Poetry is an art form that baffles me. I love reading it, but I just can't seem to make it happen myself.

So touching. When my shoulders ache, I will remember those tiny wings!
Concur--inspiring. Please, ma'am, may I have some more? Kept bees for a few years and intend to return (when I find time. . . .)

Thank you for this inspiring poem! Sharon
