Homer's (the blind man's) poetry as seen by the waiter

"Iliad III"
 

?choices

The hummingbirds anyhow

were hovering now

above flowers to be poll-

in-ate-d. I heard one bird's call:

"Wether or not they need,

they will get it indeed!"

And a fainting virgin flower

sobbed "Forget-my-not-this-hour"

as the apple-tree's blossoms

nodding at their cousins

thanked nature for sending

bees which were lending

a foot or four and a hairy belly

to accomplish the daily

dusting of pollens while

gathering honey for their queen.

If they had to decide and file

a decision. Would they have been

able to make up their mind?

Would they have chosen a bird,

Or a bee, or what other kind

of pollination if having

such choice, and how often

once, a second, a third?
