Me and the Bee:

In a flower lived a Bee, Just like any you might see, When the flower was in full bloom, The little Bee had lots of room. But when the flower started to close, The Bee found nowhere else to go, So he thought he'd stay inside, And wait until it opened wide. But what the flower had in mind, Was to close then wilt and die, Only if the poor Bee had known, He could have searched for another home. Poor Bee locked in the bloom, Now his fate lies with the flower's doom. Not even missed by other Bees, This Bee makes me think, He might be me.

Wow! The simplicity of your words amplifies the incredibly profound meaning. Your ingenuity in crafting this is astounding. The repetition of "Bee" had me feeling a fondness for it, which makes the last two lines all the more stunning. I love everything about this:) Fabulous writing a fave, 7+ lynn:)

Leave anything, anyone and any place that will hold you captive. Be it inside yourself, or in someone else's clutches. Thoroughly enjoying this poem, you can read it as is, as an almost parabel like little story, or dig deeper :) 7 and fav.

I agree, all imprisonment is self-imprisonment! No matter how hard that is for us to realize. /|\

I really liked this poem liked the other poets/poetesses, Rick. Real bounce in the writing, you told this parable very well in a simple, easy to understand style. I love that type of story telling. Hey, I'm still a kid at heart. Loving your work thus far. You have a nice range of intriguing titles to choose from. Will read more as I have time to do so. #talented. Much love and respect.
