Bee at Work

🐝

Bee at work,

Quite at work;

Awakening flowers,

Flower to flower, pollinating;

Pollens of life, mediator to life.

Some buzz, others hum;

Some watch, others still;

My vision blur the visual thoughts in the

Flight of a striped bee

Aligning, and descent in a rhythm;

A motion in a dance with

A tiny stretch of hind legs.

A second passes, and its motion

In a rhythm of ascend, aligning

Flower to flower, pollinating;

Pollens of life, mediator to life.

Quite at work,

Bee at work.

Editing copies

· 2 Comments ·

Editing a copy. I am responsible, as a sub-editor/copy editor, for the missing ‘the’, ‘,’ and ‘a’, and the complexity of sentence and structure; to put ‘editing’ in simple words. I am responsible for maintaining the dignity of the writer’s idea, and not be a judge. But, I cannot make a copy mine, the original writer will be lost somewhere. When teaching young adults ‘to edit’, the challenge is to make them realise “be a teacher, correct and suggest. Keep the writer’s style alive.”

Wording ‘Editing’, styled in Haiku form of Poetry.
