Thank you Kathy! We used to have bees here (maybe we will again someday) and someone brings about 40 hives in for a month or so in the Spring, so the pollen does not go to waste. But the Bumblebees will be here all year.
You've reminded me that I need to get back to dabbling in haiku. A couple of years ago I made a new year's goal to write one a day. Then one of my goats contracted listerosis, and I forgot about it. I love how figuring a haiku out seems so therapeutic. A mental reset, anyway.
You should Leigh! I have to admit I have not thought about them as therapeutic, but if I actually consider how I think about them, I suppose that is right. Certainly the fact that - at least traditionally - they often deal with Nature makes them attractive to me as well.
Comments are welcome (and necessary, for good conversation). If you could take the time to be kind and not practice profanity, it would be appreciated. Thanks for posting!
Sigh.
ReplyDeleteAn especially appropriate spring Haiku, if I do say so myself.
Quiet, everyone, while I give your poet the business that all good natured and chipper people deserve from the angry, bitter and twisted!
*ahem*
The snow it blows
Between my toes
And down my bloody back
My nose, my ears, my arse are froze
Cause I wore my summer clothes.
Glen, I love it!
DeleteGlen is a poet inside Leigh. Do not let him tell you anything but.
DeleteNo autographs!!!
DeleteI like to watch bumble bees work, but husband prefers to see his honeybees. Nice Haiku!
