Summer Returned

Summer returned
    unexpectedly
    in the form of  
      a bumblebee

  It buzzed everywhere
    as surprised as I...
    then put its stinger away
  ~ watched the day go by

Gordon, this is a thought-provoking and nuanced work which leaves a myriad of conclusions to the reader. I’m impressed. Many thanks for your comment on my latest Footle. Howard

I wish he would have stayed Gershon. Any extra days of summer are always welcomed...

Love that "surprised as I!" I have a trio of tiny butterflies that do the same, have a look at me and then carry on gathering. elizabeth

My surprised eye is getting a bit tired tonight. I'll have to shift to the other one soon. (Why do you think I have two eyes? ~ Shift Worker).
