3 Tankas On Honey

Like a Hungry Bear
I approach the Honey Jar
Slurping the Sweetness
Pearls of sticky glue dripping
Fast I Lick my lustful lips


Now the jar's empty
I Scoop the Delicious Dew
My restless fingers 
Rushing to work honestly
Leaving not a drop to wipe


My taste buds do speak
Savor the lingering last
Reaching the zenith
Grateful to  flowers and bees
My blissful heart blesses them

WOW! I really like this! I'm hopeless with Tankas, but you seem to have gotten it right. I'm not an expert. Harry Horseman is! Hope he reads this!
