BEE LIKE BEES

May we be blessed when it comes to our children…
to pass on some bee knowledge they should know:
That they find and taste life’s sweet moments…
That they create a buzz wherever they go…

And no matter what path they choose in life
no matter where they roam…
That they help others whenever they can…
and that they always find their

WHY BEES DANCE

I’ve been captivated by bees since I was a child
the day I discovered them in a field of sunflowers by chance.
What has fascinated me is not the way they buzz from flower to flower…
it is the way they dance.

As they moved from flower to flower…never stopping long…constantly advancing…
I would notice every now and then…how some

BEES
social
arthropods

each with its own task
most of them are workers
drones mate the queen to lay eggs

"a union discord can't discard"

Winnie the Pooh

Often Piglet and Winnie the Pooh
head out to the zoo
a slight detour and they come up to a beehive
for sweet honey it sure is worth a dip and a dive

Crazy Garfield

Garfield was with Jon,                                                              
sitting on the lawn.                                   

Flowers as far as the eye can see

Meadow of clustered flowers
fragrant bouquets of petals
pinks purples yellows whites
~ a delightful extravaganza

Spreading their joy like tentacles 
they entice butterflies and bees
while the sun keeps busy 
caressing this wild ageless garden

humming bees

      haughty humming bees
      move antenna merrily
      with waves of mild breeze-
      bees groaning freely flying 
       around fresh fragrant flowers.

Birds and Bees

Birds and Bees

The bunnies hop forever- 
as do birds and bees
but I fear I'm subjugated
by this horrible disease. 

I pick the poets, 
she loves me not. 
And I fear I cast my love
into oceans naught. 

Full of fear and pain 
and haunting death.
The screaming is so real now- 
when will I seek my last breath?

Foreboding

foreboding omen
bumblebees on the decline
the worse yet to come

Yeah Right

She told a story aof the men she
had been involved with.
They put her at the front of the room and
talked to the various people.
Due to the sensitivity of the topic 
she played nice and refused to give
names.But anyway: minutes into
the conversation she took out a chart.
The roman numerals had name 
beside them.

Homing Bees

Homing Bees

Up before dawn
To bring home the bees,
Last evening’s swarm 
So full and feisty,
And nestled in
Their new hive
They seem contented
Distracted and without concern
That in the end 
They have only 
Travelled a few feet 
From their old home.

TIME TO BE LIKE BEES

       TIME TO BE LIKE BEES
    (A Freestyle Tanka Quintet)

Once feared allergy,
back in 1963,
gave wisdom to me:
Learned from the sting of a bee;
we need hiving unity:-

Researching bee stings,
revealed much about beings
and disunity:
We need hived togetherness; 
reaping from the unity:-

Let’s get together,
sowing and reaping oneness

Heart Stopping Showstopper

He's a flirt with his anxieties,
Collecting tauted nerves.
She's a pen who haunts his remedies,
And with these words she serves.

He'll romanticize the painful,
And unto pleasure, gain.
Where a page was turned to tar,
With her baneful, poisoned stain.

All that glitters looks amiss,
While they write together sin.
Whereby lovers part by kiss,
Muses part by apitoxin.
