At Pollinator Showcase Garden
Anna Yin @2024/07/19
Beside a Spanish white house,
I enter the “Pollinator Showcase Garden”.
It is a cool summer day, I stroll among
Lovely red, yellow and purple blossoms.
In my hand, I hold three precious marbles.
Each for one of my favorite artworks
made by bees, brown, golden and blue ones,
artists, young, mid-aged and senior…
My eyes dwell into each diligent and elegant work,
My heart is filled with nectar of color and light.
My ears hear all music of this harmony symphony.
My soul dances with each pollinator’s dance.
Oh, three is not enough, not nearly enough…
I pause at “Mississauga’s 50th Bee Garden”
I gaze at the purple “Secret Garden”
I listen to the “Echoes of Nectar”
I cry with the black “Queen Bee”
I count the beads in “Cosmic Nectar”
I smile at the “Guardian of the Bees”
I chase after the “Chef’s Flight”
I touch the huge bee’s glasses…
Carefully I place three of my favorite ones,
then another three and three and three…
it goes on and on in my appreciating mind…
Every nectar a honey drop
every hive a harmony home
Music continues through this summer
Bread and honey harvested by bees and artists.

Echoes of Nectar” by Asma Sahar
Viewing “Echoes of Nectar”, Anna Yin
Through a looking glass
I enter a honey garden,
This time with a flower fairy,
Accompanied by buzzing bees
Streetsville square echoes with live music
A tall clock stands above yellow blossoms
Diligent pollinators fly far and near
Lake Ontario high with a sweet dream
I dance from slow Salsa till night blues
I taste fresh nectar with summer scent
The full moon moves out of clouds
My heart is full of echoes of nectar
蜜意回响 (trans by )Rui Ding (Grade 9th, China)
穿越一面透视镜
我迳入一处蜜园
此时花仙子伴我
蜂群频频起舞
城镇中回响着悠扬的乐曲
一座钟于黄花之间耸立
辛勤的施粉家们往来翕忽
安大略的湖水随美梦潮涌
我起舞 由萨尔萨舞直到夜间的蓝调
我将那甘露就着夏意品尝
云散开圆月浮现
蜜意自心中回响
