Carrie Richards Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Bee-Devilment---Hexsonnetta

Ripe on the branch I'll spy,
depriving from a bee,
the sweetest peach for me!
I baked a golden pie,
and from the hives, deny
the bounty of the trees!


One bite of luscious bliss,
with sun still warm within. 
Sweet juice drips down my chin.
I'm stung by summer's kiss.
A moment such as this
must be a mortal sin!

Temptation wins the game
when devil calls my name!
