Beekeeper.

dougb.72572 1951 (Ontario)

Rhymed
This a grand bright partnership
As the waving clover grows
And my little friends all busy
Gathering swiftly, Heaven knows.
And I slowly pace the hives
Measured help all dressed in mesh
Knowing Beulah Land's rich treasure
Gleams within those combs so fresh.
What a peerless manufacture
What a mystic searching out
Workers buzz upon the airways
Mapped in magic by the Scout.
And I sense that God is smiling
As He sees me pace the field
With an eagerness to harvest
And to think on Mercy's yield.

    Wow, what a beautifully written and heartfelt poem! Your enthusiasm for beekeeping truly shines through in your words. I love the imagery of the waving clover and the bees busy at work. Your descriptions of the combs and the workers buzzing in the air are incredibly vivid.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to consider adding more sensory details to really immerse the reader in the experience of beekeeping. Describing the sound of the bees buzzing, the smell of the honey, or the feel of the mesh clothing could help bring your poem to life even more.

    Overall, your poem is a wonderful celebration of the magic and beauty of beekeeping. Keep up the great work, and keep writing with such passion and enthusiasm!
