What stronger feeling
could surpass
the momentary amazement
when you look
at the soft colors
in their dainty glory?
Would you perhaps
gaze, marvel
and feel gratified
that you belong to
the same world
that they do?
Watch a bee trying
to find a gap between
the two beauties and struggling
to decide on his best partner
Makes me wonder……….how many gazed on me and said, “No, guess I’ll struggle on and find a better looking partner.” lol
I did catch one. Like a Venus Fly Trap. š
lol:)) Good for you that you found one:)
A simple theme, beautifully wrought. Sometimes little parts in the nature of things – and themes embrace and extol the whole – as you do again.
Thank you so much, Ken, for your kind review
Wow, beautifully captured in embrace. Your writing do make me stop and wonder about marvelous wondrous world.
A beautiful picture of nature would help soothe your worries at least for a moment..Glad you liked it..and thank you so much
That is true, I am planning on moving to county, a house on beautiful acres covered with beautiful tall trees and nature.
that’s really cool:) A life admist nature would be lovely..
There are 3 philosophical lessons in this poem. ‘Belonging to the same world’ raises interesting thoughts.
thank you so much..always enjoy your interpretations.. would you like to elaborate on the three of them..
To elaborate, I am fascinated by the way you ‘married’ the strongest feeling, unsurpassed, and the amazement with such tiny daintiness, how the smallest item can give the strongest feelings. In the 2nd stanza that sudden realisation that they are in th same world as mine was very interesting, despite being so different – but yes, they are part of my world, and could be in a major way – on the way home when I cycle perhaps, glanced at everyday, changing even my mood or causing thought. The last stanza questions beauty, with the bee trying to struggle through to find what his ‘heart’ needs. I found that thought-provoking!
Thank you so very much for the indepth review and also for understanding what the poem wanted to convey..
What a wonderful thought… Oh, to be a bee…! š
