Honey To a Sting

by Michael J. Falotico
inspired by Dr. Ram's "Love XVII"


                                                       lady bumblebee..
                                            tastes of honey all throughout..
                                               wrong words, feel the sting..

Oh, you got that right, Michael. No matter how sweet some people seem to be, their harsh words can often sting. Now go and buy those Godiva chocolates for your wife -- as long as she's not on a diet. I actually did not buy them, but was very tempted. Great haiku! Love, Carolyn
