Beeing

To Bee

Fecundity, fertility,

but born of mutuality;

it is the bees if not the birds

enable procreation’s worth.

Auguries of Innocence

‘To see a world in a grain of sand,

and a Heaven in a flower’

The title frightens, but be calm,

for nature in its blooming balm

finds give and take, the way to bee,

relationships, twixt creatures, me.

As one with what the Greenman sees,

with air surround, both land and sea,

a balance, some call charity.

but respect, mutuality.

The cushion cover, fool’s gold shine,

ambrosia of nectar wine,

attraction for the fair trade deal,

reward for those enjoying meal.

Birds and Bees     

The story of the birds and bees,

essential nature of earth’s ways;

the bio, here our botany

in regal, royal purple garb.

Those stamen, stigma, pistil parts

with anther, central to the bloom,

diagrammatic, easy lay,

but pixels paint another way.

Grain pollen, golden overflow

awaiting busy bumble, free,

tailed buff, or orange, yellow too,

defining species in the end.

Two dozen in portfolio

if trust the conservation web,

themselves a contra principle

to aeronautics, flight plan path.

Or is it macro takes my eye,

the lens, tight close-up insight view?

Maybe that vast variety,

designs, particular, evolved?

Attack by starfish, in the Sun,

of blackberries (remember them?).

There are so many takes to pick

that speak, creative force at work.

The bilge of youth revealed so much -

amoeba, tadpoles, worm and plant -

while lit released, another style,

the wonder, how we could behold.

If Blake saw beauty, I see more

that mutualism at life’s core;

a heaven’s door, relationship,

and his flower wild, so innocent?

Eye Scene

A palette, yellow, black and mauve,

so this the style, how flower arranged,

along with pistil, petal spread,

yet stigma, reproductive talk.

Scene, not alone what we have seen -

the spectrum differs from our range –

but scent that’s sent, those pheromones,

and drones where bumbles, workers been.

So what I see, my eye tells me,

that pixabay claims closer view,

where flight plan filed is duty free,

both times, gold carriage, randomized.
