Of Bees And Mexican Hats Poem by Glen Kappy

Of Bees And Mexican Hats



Bees—so many! —
buzzing about the flowers
we call Mexican Hats.

What might they mirror
of invisible worlds?

Ions and their attractions?
Or angels perhaps? —

visiting our heads
with hints and intuitions
even as we claim them
as our own.

Attachment and attraction of insects to the flowers is a beauty to watch,

hi, akhtar! first, thank you for exploring my poems and taking time to comment. i appreciate it. on this one, i watched from the little deck in our backyard, and i don't know why my mind went in the direction it did. but we do know there's a whole invisible world we typically only get glimpses of, a world on which this in-time touchable world is built on. -glen

Absolutely! I love to watch dicumentaries that zoom in on the miniscule workd of insects. Have you read Horton Hears a Who to your granddaughter?
