Today’s poem is titled Wake Up Spring!
Bears hibernate.
Bats hibernate.
Bees do it too.
Wake up!
Shake off sleep.
Breathe fresh air.
Start anew.

Enjoy this poem from the #STUCKBumblebee challenge
Eagles glide, glaring from above
Fish flee, seeking shelter below.
Owls scan, soaring in silence above
Mice scamper, seeking safety below.

I wrote 2 haikus yesterday, one with a bee hotel and one with #breathe after a Nature Preserve native bee workshop (perfect for #Stuckbumblebee right?) but forgot to tag! Reposting here.
Blair Woods nature walk
Green space to relax and breathe
Urban Oasis
#haikusaturday #nature
Oh! forgot to also tag #Stuckbumblebee and prompt for April 5th #breathe
Sorry @booksbycindy.bsky.social and @jpuglow.bsky.social
Unstuck!
Golden sloth and yesterday’s camel
waited in
stacks
century
after
century
jumbled
and
tumbled
by Earth
finally
unearthed
uncovered…
unstuck!
