The Dilettante Diaries: "The Bumble Bee Big Blue Sky Boston Two Step on Love Street" She said, "Pffft Bumble Bees Rule, No Bees, no World Shy Little Hearts Big power freedom wings realised dreams into reality unfurls Who’s to write that story? She’s just a girl In a Boston Two Step World" He said, "Stung, once bitten twice shy..." She said, "The Devil’s in the Details - the real deal is swallowing “The Whole Beautiful” Big Blue Sky and opening mouths tongues speak transfer a lush kiss shared wealth Icarus flies out Sun in his mouth - It's a sinch..." He said, "Lady Bird! Lady Bird! Your House is on Fire!" She said, "Long ago maybe, the Empire now strong in unified minds unfurls to The Town Crier A new Kingdom Love Power rising higher and higher Ok tiger, maybe a spark now, Not yet into bonfire" For a Woman that once was a Butter would melt in mouth Girl dreaming unreachable bigger blue skies She irreverently turns keys in hearts A Fire opens latches Lacquered Chinese puzzle boxed pheromone trials and strange very odd matches Carniolan whispers, “Bring it on” She now smiles and captures... Judges 14 buzzzing bees 8 Air thick with flying honey All Along the Watch Tower She opens the Gate Hendrix’s Bumble Bees speak, in hushed reverent unified tone, "It’s never too late..."

Tongues do speak, Leanne. And it speaks many languages. Masterful write as always. You must have been born with a pen in your hands. Love this...Charlie

When you are brought up with a King Bee speaking Coleridge to you and the Nicene Creed as bedtime stories with 2 other Queen Bees perched next to you, living in a hive made of books and music from floor to ceiling ... one cannot but help to live and breathe the addiction of writing, immersing in stories, real or not, and spreading the pollen around for snorting....not that I snort at all...only when I giggle at tongues that do speak. There I go all verbose again Messina. x p.s. Bees don't perch, they buzz from flower to flower, they live to pollinate and they sleep to dream.

THE BEE - by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) Like trains of cars on tracks of plush I hear the level bee: A jar across the flowers goes, Their velvet masonry Withstands until the sweet assault Their chivalry consumes, While he, victorious, tilts away To vanquish other blooms. His feet are shod with gauze, His helmet is of gold; His breast, a single onyx With chrysoprase, inlaid. His labor is a chant, His idleness a tune; Oh, for a bee's experience Of clovers and of noon!
