Analysis of Pollen
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The pollen was softer than the bee on her hand
She hoped the poor bee would understand
But the vibrant yellow was hard to resist
One touch of its pollen so lovely and sunkissed
Would but I could be the hardened bee
And fly to flowers hastening to their luxury.
