Don’t be fooled, they carry
nothing of the Orient’s allure.
These voracious beetles,
if they had the appetite,
might easily bring down
the loftiest sequoia.
Depraved sexual deviants,
they deflower helpless roses
in broad daylight; and, like
Medieval artisans of yore
turn hardy zinnias into
empty-ribbed cathedral windows.
Their shells are hard like
scarabs, but charmless,
slicked with an iridescence
cheap and tacky like carnival glass.
Eager to reproduce their kind,
they feed and copulate
at the same time.
Sex has never lost its need
with any creature on this planet,
least of all these pesky beetles,
so a potent sex attractant does
the job. And even in the heat
of destructive flames, they go
at it mindlessly one last time.

Welcome to beautiful mild May
Nature awakens slowly
Every breath we share
I want you near
without you there’s no air
Opal sparkling joy of life of the cosmos
The taste of sun and life
A wreath of white anemones
it is to please you
The odor of honey in your hair
The Bumble attractant power
A buzzing melody
notes we do not understand
Drink some honey .... fly on
The spring's sweet melody is like the winds fresh air

Cellular walls built honeycomb structure
bee-like are particle charges instructors
Assisting growth furthering fashion
golden dew which sweetens our passion
Like an atomic reactant absorbing the charge
we the attractant evolve at large.....
Blueprint of future within ourselves
footprints we leave....what we put in our shelves
The natural process of timely matter
aeons of progression which we hopefully gather......
