Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Like a drunk who had a bit too much
or maybe the dance of the scarecrow
the uncut scenes of Oz
so long, so long ago

The stagger of the bumblebee
as if on toddler legs
lurching from bloom to bloom
finding little peace

Such urgent work
they must be on
never stopping to enjoy
the beauty of each bloom
no rest for those in flight


May 26, 2010
over the last week or two
watching the bees on the rhododendron
Suncook, NH
