Vying with a Bee

P K Routray

Bees

varieties man seea,

minute ugly to singing big

afraid man is to their bitter sting.

Robs man from their hive

honey, the nectar to live.

From dawn to dusk toil they

to serve the creation to stay

singing, flying, sucking the nectar

from flower to flower in any weather

not discriminating on the basis of fragrance and color

lessons are they for man to learn “ The joy and value of the labor”.

An insect insignificant it is in His creation,

compared to man or any mammoth mammal known

but the service the Almighty has assigned to it

proves His love and its worth, to vie a bee man is unfit.

Firstly, I read this because it is about a bee, and because the word 'bee', is in the title. Plus being a bee I am interested in anything on the subject of bees. I found your poem to be very much in favour of bees, and also cleverly presented in the form of a bee hive, which I found to be very appealing. If I were a picker and giver of cherries, I would give them to this poem, but I am only a humble bumble bee and cannot pick or carry cherries. Sorry - but I hope someone likes your poem as much as me, and does. And I will buzz off after saying that I think your poem makes some valid points. It just needs a little polish here and there and it will be great. 

I like bees, and I like your poem very much.
