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
