thank you for letting me be one of your reading roses. this is so lovely, shoulda got an E.
First time I have seen the bumblebee's flying conundrum used so appropriately as a metaphor. Congratulations! I agree this deserves an "E" for structure as well as originality.
(For those who don't know, many years ago aviation engineers were puzzled because, according to their calculations and wind tunnel tests, the bumblebee should not be able to fly. Their problem was that their theoretical formulations were based upon a fixed wing model.)
and you painted this one beautifully.
Leave still all
Critics and experts at poetry;
Despite those naysayers
A bumblebee of poetry can fly!
