Monday, 5th April, 2010 Heart's Grail

 I need to get ahead. I have TMA06 to finish, not to mention the piffling matter of an ECA.

Heart's Grail

I begged a Robin yesterday
if he had seen a Rose.
He cocked his head
and wryly said
that I should not suppose
a feathered creature
such as he must know
where Beauty grows.

Today, I stopped a Bumble Bee
for surely he would see,
from buzzing back
and forth all day,
where rose-buds grace a tree.
But Bumble Bee
just looked aslant
and would not tell me why.
He only said
he'd search the Earth
if I would the Sky.
