Notes About The Poem

For Your Choice G Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

Scandalous Flower Story

A wafting, giggling,
windy, wiggling,
breezy, jiggling
flower wore red.  

With words so humble,
as he did stumble,
a simple bumble
bee then said, 

"on my flight here,
may I light here,
you pretty sight, dear,
fair flower in red?"  
 
"I'm all a'glowing,
petals showing,
nectar flowing,
yours in my flower bed."

Ahhh!! What a delightful conversation between the bee and flower. They do need each other. The plant for pollination and the bee for food. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Dear David, I adore this amazing poem. The fantastic title is as alluring as nectar to the "bumble bee". Your animated imagery is tantalizing as is the "fair flower in red". A light-heart delight! Warmest wishes my poet friend.. ~Susan
