" Checked Actions "

Checked actions
as vanishing
bees' habitats

rusty-patched
yellow-banded
benefitting plants

peppers and cranberries
vast farmlands
symbolizing rallies

charismatically
grabbing
floral anthers

shaking loose grains
listed as endangered
"buzz-pollinators"

sustaining vegetation
feeding populations
embracing ancient ways

nutty and fragrant
faintly tangy
gentler paces

sealed and baked
borne heydays
candled birthday cakes...
