good point in your author notes, Henry. Thank goodness, the virus hasn't affected nature. Great use of alliteration in your haiku with the p and f sounds.

Comment from June Sargent
I enjoyed your piece about the way nature reminds us of its resilience. This time of year, we can see the birds, bees and flowers returning to our gardens. New beginnings. I am glad you are able now to take a little walk in your garden. Take care and thank you for sharing some of the sunshine.

Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
Sometimes it's the little things that catch our eyes. I'm glad you're starting to feel better and you were able to embrace some of what nature has to offer. I went back to work a couple days ago since I broke my foot. It was a nice 6 weeks off but I suppose it's time to get back to reality.

Hi Henry, It seems that parts of nature have been in recovery while we've been in quarantine. They say the stars have never been brighter in the night skies. With all the factories shut down everywhere, pollution has cleared up considerably. Of course, with no one going to work, driving is down a good bit and nobody is visiting, flying or anything else. All that adds up. (personally, I think we seem to be doing pretty well by internet... a lot of us anyway. I'm not saying that we should all stay home all the time by any means, but if working and schooling from home is an option, then people will have a chance to be at home with their children again, perhaps families will develop again, and neighborhoods. Perhaps it will once again be safe to let your kids go out and play... without you hanging on their every move I mean. Things like this could end up moving us toward good things... in the end. A lot more web visits to the doctor's office... (how many times did you get the flu waiting to see the doctor over a hurt body part or something that had nothing to do with sickness?)
I liked your Haiku... we need more bumblebees... perhaps with us in here for a little while... now planting more gardens for something to do with our time... they'll make a comeback! :)

Thank your very much for reading my poem Susan. Your stars and comments are awesome. I live by myself. A sixty-year old daughter, my eldest, is near. She has more serious underlaying conditions than I, and she has good reasons for self distancing. My underlying condition is only age. If I catch the sniffles, flu or my arthritis acts up, I'm my own care taker.

You have made excellent use of all of your syllables in this lovely, comforting piece. Seeing the normality in nature--business and pleasure as usual--is soothing.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written haiku about earth's plan to pollinate each and every flower in the garden with the help of the busy bees, that will ensure the future growth of each flower.

Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
Yes nature will continue on long after we try to destroy it. Very well done haiku, using the bumblebee for the representation of the season, spring. The image of the full sacs is spot on. Using the first line for the satori is well done

Ah, yes. From our grandiose ivory towers we sometimes take for granted the intricate, precise dance with which nature orchestrates the cycle of life.
Indeed, bees and wind are as important to life on this planet as a million John Deere tractors.
Glad you're feeling better.
Best of luck with the voters.
Peace, Lee

Comment from CrystieCookie999
Perfect syllable count on a haiku, with a subject full of import. Great 'p' alliteration, 'f' alliteration, and long 'e' assonance with 'reaper' and 'bumblebee' as well. Thanks for posting a haiku that helps us all to remember even the smallest (or nearly so) creature can accomplish something great. It is a reminder that even our smallest efforts are full of promise.
