L Milton Hankins Poet Quatrain

Near Miss

A bumblebee missed my head this morning
Flew into the plate-glass window, without warningl,
And bounced off into the dogwood tree
I wonder, who was better off…him or me?

Rico Leffanta July 31, 2021 at 11:53 AM Fate? (From the title, I thought you were writing about nonbinary...) L Milton Hankins July 31, 2021 at 1:24 PM LOL. LMAO! Funny, Rico. I think, but I'm not certain, I know what you were referring to. If it is what I thought, it is hilarious! Thanks for the comment.

Shirley Hawkins July 30, 2021 at 8:38 PM I bet the bee felt the dizziest... L Milton Hankins July 30, 2021 at 8:43 PM I don't know, Shirley. Do you think bees have dizzy spells? I often wonder.

Fun stuff...ab L Milton Hankins July 30, 2021 at 6:26 PM That's kinda how I felt, Anselmo. Believe it or not, I wondered if the bee got hurt hitting that plate-glass window. I think of the weirdest things!!!
