Happy World Poetry Day! Here is my little contribution to the celebration.

THE SONGS OF BEES
by Carrie Karnes Fannin

​

Elms bend underneath
the snow, their branches dreaming
of buzzing and light.


Shaking off the cold,
bare limbs stretch and make ready
to welcome their friends,
as the warm winds slip
between the trees, whispering
green rumors of Spring.


Their bold buds lift up
to meet the young sun as she
takes her morning place,
​lighting a path for
stumbling, dusty bees who hum
golden honey songs.

A small ode to the oh-so-glamorous life of a writer. 

STORIES
 
by Carrie Karnes-Fannin


Words carried on wind 
tickle my ears, asking for 
paper, pen, and time. 

Stories swirl around,
 
playing dress-up as motes 
riding on sunbeams. 

​"Be lost in the call”
 
the best writing books tell me. 
But the call is lost, 
  
When my dog grumbles, 
the old dryer rattles and thumps 
and the doorbell rings. 
  
So night falls before 
I find paper, pen, and time 
to catch words on wind 
  
Or to see stories 
dancing in a cloud of dust 
from my unswept floor.
