Exceptional Double Refrain Kyrielle for Potlatch Poetry That Soothing Sound by damommy Poem of the Month contest entry

While sitting in the garden shade, I hear the buzz of honeybees. As they check every bloom and blade, I watch as breezes stir the trees.   Their busyness apparent when I hear the buzz of honeybees. Just where, I wonder, have they been. I watch as breezes stir the trees.   This lazy, hazy afternoon I hear the buzz of honeybees. While listening to a songbird’s tune, I watch as breezes stir the trees.   In special times of summer days, I hear the buzz of honeybees, and sitting in a drowsy daze, I watch as breezes stir the trees.   What joy they bring me on the days I hear the buzz of honeybees. Still here I sit - they flew away. I watch as breezes stir the trees.
