Delphic Bee

Singing pollen songs
Lips anointed with honey
Priestess of Delphi
Filling her pollen basket
Propolis giving comb love

A Roman Bee... A Priestess ... You do know, what they specialized in Abe ? :) Man... What kind of Comb Love are you talking here (smile) Seriously, Though... Very Vivid Imagery... But, What's with all the Bee Poems? Of Course, I Love Them and why... MoonBEE

Great Tanka here, Abe! I have been working with bees many years back when I stayed at Kibbutz Erez near Ashkelon, Israel. I enjoyed doing all jobs from collecting honey to lable the tins. Are you on facebook? If you#d like to see some of my pictures - I'm there...Gert

That priestess of Delphi must enjoy "Singing pollen songs." What a lovely way to put it, Abe. And the whole concept of "comb love" is very intriguing! Love the poem and the poet! Carolyn
