Poetry

Our Project "BEE LOUD" was inspired by the famous poem "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" by the Irish Poet William Butler Yeats, who lived in Thoor Ballylee in close vicinity to our school. Here is a narration of the poem by the children of Kiltiernan NS

Inspired by our great Irish poet William Butler Yeats we have written our own poetry in honour of the bee and we hope you like it:

My Bee Hive

I will put in my bee hive the sound of my friends humming

In the soft spring wind

The smell of perfume as I fly around the hive

And the feeling of a soft pillow under my tiny feet

I will put in the bee hive a million flowers for all to smell

And pollinate from

And then a bright sun that turns to dusk and

A round moon in its place

The Bee’s Poem

I am the queen,

I love the sound of my babies buzzing here & there gracefully

And the feeling of satisfaction of a hive with every bee working in harmony & peace

I know how to feed but I struggle with flying

I am good at leading the operation from the side-lines

I wish I could join their scavenge

I love to see my children growing

I care about my family; they mean more to me than anything

I am their leader, but not their helper (& not the band).

Bee poem

I am a glorious honey bee

I love the sound of wings rapidly beating around hives

The feeling of taking the pollen and nectar out of the flower makes me feel proud

I know how to make honey

I am good at collecting nectar for my family

I wish I could stop hurting people

I love exploring

I care about feeding my family in the winter

I am a honey bee

The Bees’ Poem

I am a honey bee.

I love the sound of bees in the hive working hard.

And the feeling of respect in the hive.

I know how to save the earth.

I am good at producing honey for you to engorge on.

I wish I could live in a better climate.

I love to help the hive.

I care about my fellow bees and the environment

I am Nature’s Gift…

The beehive

I will put in my beehive

The sounds of many drone bees ready to set off on their adventures

The smells of the honey and wax in the honeycomb

And the feeling of warmth and safety in the cold seasons.

I will put in my beehive

The queen and lots of her children ready to pollinate

And then my hive is complete

The Honey bee

Honey

Lives in the midst of the honey factory

Hears the buzzing of her peers

Sees brightly coloured flowers in the distance

Feels tired having to work for the queen

Fears predators

Gives what is taken for granted

Wonders if life has more to offer

Dreams of one day meeting someone like it

Believes that she can be saved

Loves to keep believing and

Is Proud of her work

Bee Character Poem

Bee

Lives in a golden hive

Hears the buzzing of her peers

Sees the fresh golden honey made just this morning

Touches the smooth crisp bees wax

Needs the colourful flowers in bloom.

Fears the humans next decision.

Gives the gift of nature’s wonders

Wonders about the dwindling population of flowers

Dreams of a long life for her siblings

Believes a change is coming

Loves the summer breeze against her skin

Is the reason of our existence

The Beehive

The sounds of bee wings humming

The smell of honey comb

The feeling of comfort and relaxation

 With a bigger hive and space

Bumble Bee!

Bumble

Lives where all honey is produced

Hears buzzing of hardworking bees

Sees a world full of delicious flowers

Touches a flower, so soft

Needs to put in effort for his queen

Fears that there shall be no more of his kind…

Gives what is taken for granted,

Wonders if he will ever feel the comfort of safety?

Dreams of the hive empty

Believes he can be man of the hive

Loves to feel he’s important and

Is needed…

The Beehive

I will put in the beehive,

The sounds of bees coming in and out with delicious sugary honey.

I will put in the beehive, 

The smells of honey dripping out of hexagonal capsules,

And the feeling of honey drizzling on my wings.

I will put in the beehive,

A supply of honey to last the winter and then the feeling of cosiness and safety.
