  7. “Honeybees”From the book:Joyful NoisePoems for Two Voicesby Paul Fleischman BEING A BEE is a pain. I’m a worker I’LL GLADLY EXPLAIN I’m up at dawn, guarding the hive’s narrow entrance BEING A BEE Is a joy. I’m a queen I’LL GLADLY EXPLAIN Upon rising, I’m fed by my royal attendants,

  8. “Honeybees” continued: then I take out the hive’s morning trash then I put in an hour making wax, without two minutes’ time to sit and relax. Then I might collect nectar from the field three miles north or perhaps I’m on larva detail feeding the grubs In their cells, wishing that I were still helpless and pale. I’m bathed then I’m groomed. The rest of my day is quite simply set forth: I lay eggs, by the hundred.

  9. “Honeybees” continued: Then I pack combs with Pollen – not my idea of fun.   Then, weary, I strive to patch up any cracks In the hive. Then I build some new cells, slaving away at enlarging this Hell, dreading the sight of another sunrise, wondering why we don’t all unionize. TRULY, A BEE’S IS THE WORST OF ALL LIVES. I’m loved and I’m lauded I’m outranked by none. When I’ve done enough laying I retire for the rest of the day. TRULY, A BEE’S IS THE BEST OF ALL LIVES

  10. Two-Voice Poem Using the Venn diagram and any other information you might generate, create a dialogue poem about your partner and yourself. If you want to be creative, establish a “persona” for each of you.

  11. Sharing Two-Voice Poems • Stand in groups of six to eight around a table. • Have one partnership perform a poem and then sit down. • Have a second partnership share a poem and then sit down. • Continue until all have shared. When everyone is sitting, we will know that all have shared.

  12. Sample Two-Voice PoemComparing a Right Triangle with an Isosceles Triangle We are Triangles I am a right triangle My sides aren’t equal I am an Isosceles triangle I have two equal sides Both of us are polygons I have one right angle I have two angles of the same measure We both equal 180 degrees My acute angles are complimentary All of my angles are acute We both have three sides I am a right triangle I am an Isosceles triangle We are Triangles
