The Bees Are Hooked

The bees are hooked Played by the scented temptation The beauty of the escape Into the fullness Of a pollinated peace Short lived this ecstasy This joyous satiation Driven by intoxications Irreversible need For more of what caused it Sunrise, the opening flower Aglow in a distant phantasy Brushing away the fog Rekindling an un-stoked fire An ember craving ignition Slowly they will emerge Leave their hidden hives Seek out the fluorescent petals Of that ever illusive Pollinated peace

I like this poem but then, I do like bees. Your poem brings out their cute, tiny personalities. I hope we always have bees.
