We Are the Bees

Yellow and black we always fly.

Forming a flower in the sky.

Collecting nectar to make something runny;

Our special, sweet honey.


Always busy on the job. 

But challenges make us stick together in a blob.

Yes, we do sting when we are mad. 

Then we die knowing that we lived a life that was rad.


We serve till death, 

So humans don't take our last breath.


Fly swatters won't stop us from swimming at barbecues in 

your waters.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

This was an adorable poem and it reminded me of something I would see in a children's novel. I think with more practice your rhyming skills would be amazing. Great work and cute read. Please check out any of my work for some feedback as well. I am new to the poetry world. Much love!
