Honey.Bee

By Sin

Such a clever little creature
Flitting about in your striped dress
And pointy shoes, what sweetness
Hides your anger, as the world tilts
Around your buzz and pollinated lips

I just wish
Your tongue came with less of a sting

    Delightful little piece. Having been stung yesterday--seems judicious timing to read about the little critters. Well done.

    THIS... I can relate to. Friggin' sting. Nicely written, easy to read, yet still quite a bit to ponder.

    This is a sweet little ode, with big smarts. I keep wondering what it's about, really. Cute, serious toward the end. Fun read, darlin. You awake now? :)
