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.

Best of Both Worlds
Sunset on the mountain snow
casts a rosy alpenglow.
Sunset past the surfer’s splash
rides out with an emerald flash.

Bumblebee, bumblebee,
buzz me a poem.
Trumpet an anthem—
“Hooray, honeycomb!”
Bumblebee, bumblebee,
swarm by and sing.
Close on a high note—
and not with a sting!

The unsuspecting Caesar,
at Pompey’s Roman arch,
was prodded to his knees there.
Beware the Ides of March!

Unsuspecting
it creeps close, closer, and then buzz
buzz, buzz– high-pitched rapid wing vibration warns
in-coming, in-coming . Whine. Slap. Sting. Mosquito attack.
