Honey
bee in poetry

A
FLIGHT OF
A BEE
To a heavenly
beehive
When a bee
flies
Does it remember
Terrestrial
signs
Does it recollect
Its experienced
days
While with
light among
Constellations
it flames
Into swarms
of stars
When it once
flies
What is left
with
From earthly
weight and width

In the large
town
a honey bee
on the flower -
the dearest
meeting.
(Moira
Campbell, USA, 9/25/11)
Autumn
Summer's birds flock and spiral away
while one or two valiant bumblebees swoon
to the light in the window-pane,
resisting their destiny to winter's haven.
