Have You Hear the Buzz

Happy Poetry Month!
Happy Spring!
Have You Heard the Buzz?
Resting on a small seed-bed inside a saffron sun,
I savor the sweetness of my life—
solitary, but part of a community with a job to do,
petite, but productive,
and have you heard the buzz,
the honorable appellation
that names bees the Most Important Species on Earth?

“Maybe love is like
a monsoon rain.
When it rains
really hard and heavy,
it seems like
it will never end
and we'll swim in mud
forever.

Every gurgle and ooze
tiptoes away
and we're left wishing
and waiting
for rain again.
Maybe love is like that.
Maybe the wind shifts
and love just tiptoes away.”

What Book Shall We Read in August?
I have chosen books that are getting a lot of attention, or whose authors have other Newbery awards, and were published in March and April. My hope is that a lot of libraries might have them in their shelves by now. Please let me know if you think a book should be added to the list.
If you get the chance, check and see what your library has before you vote.
