The honeybees held a gala reunion <br />In my garden one balmy, Summer day, <br />Selecting the flower bed as their site, <br />While buzzing in the sunlight in a strange way. <br /> <br />The gentle warm breeze rocked them, <br />While I observed them quietly and unseen, <br />As they pondered before attempting to land <br />On the multitude of flowers with a sheen. <br /> <br />There was a flurry of activity in the garden <br />Until the middle of this Summer day, <br />As the bees gathered up the nectar, <br />And then quietly buzzed away. <br /> <br />Then appeared a variety of butterflies <br />And a bright, green hummingbird. <br />I know not how they knew it, <br />Or who had spread the word. <br /> <br />Of the beauty on the corollas of the flowers <br />And the sweet aroma that filled the air, <br />Or the nectar remaining in the floral envelope, <br />Just for butterflies and hummingbirds to share.<br /><br />Joseph T.
