Stallions With Stingers

Terrified, the little girl cries until her grandmother turns wise, “All God’s creatures want to survive. I know you love your small garden. Now watch these workers work magic” Those stallions with stingers, hover, tantalizingly tease petals of the roaring dandelions. Those golden gals honey’d sunshine, with fair upturned, xanthous faces. Not to be outbuzzed, the blush rose, her loving cup with upraised hands. “Drink deeply, my love, my nectar pleasing to my lord. Drink deeply.” The succulent sensation sates. “Well, child, a life without seeds won’t succeed. Pollination is key. Those bonnie buttercups happy to see their buzzing friends come by. Be patient, Daisy, he’s landing.” 9/11/2019 WHERE BUMBLES BOUNCE POETRY CONTEST SPONSORED BY CRAIG CORNISH
