There was an equanimous beekeeper --
so calm he looked like an upright sleeper.
Slow & quiet on task
'til one got in his mask,
and blinded him with stings to each peeper.

“Come slowly — Eden!” (205) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]
Come slowly -- Eden!
Lips unused to Thee --
Bashful -- sip thy Jessamines --
As the fainting Bee --
Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums --
Counts his nectars --
Enters -- and is lost in Balms.

Poppy [Haiku]
cliffside poppy:
bee shakily alights
in a mountain breeze.

Bee [Lyric Poem]
I see the humble bumble bee,
Or should I say I see its rump.
It snugged in, made itself cozy --
To get away it's far too plump.

Thistle [Haiku]
heavy-headed thistles
sway in the cow pasture,
bees read their motion.

“Fame is a Bee” (1788) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]
Fame is a bee.
It has a song --
It has a sting --
Ah, too, it has a wing.
