The Honeybees of Lilliput

Airborne over Lilliput
blackhearted honeybees gone nuts
ravish every pretty flower 
from here to the London Tower 
where mothers forsake their young
terrified of being stung.

That's it? I was hoping for more ravaging and stinging. ~ Mark E. Dezadi

Thanks, Sara - I have a lot of inspirational bees that come by to visit the flowers by my place!
