Honeybee: Poems and Short Prose

Honeybee: Poems and Short Prose by Naomi Shihab Nye
Honey. Beeswax. Pollinate. Hive. Colony. Work. Dance. Communicate. Industrious. Buzz. Sting. Cooperate. Where would we be without them? Where would we be without one another? In eighty-two poems and paragraphs, Naomi Shihab Nye alights on the essentials of our time—our loved ones, our dense air, our wars, our memories, our planet—and leaves us feeling curiously sweeter and profoundly soothed. If you like "Honeybee" try "I'll ask you three times, are you OK?" Listen to Naomi read a poem.
