Best Honeybee Poems

so, here's the thing. 

when you kiss me, there are no tsunamis. 
there is no hurricane behind my eyelids and there is 
no earthquake underneath us. 

but there is the buzzing. 
like a million, swarming bees, 
rattling around inside our veins. 

the buzzing is you,...

My name is Harvey Honeybee, 
I like to buzz around,
I'm looking for some flowers,
But they're nowhere to be found!

I've been looking for days,
And lots of lonely nights,
And it surely seems like,
Something has happened to my sights!

Where are all my buzzy friends,
I wonder where they could...

Several painful stings
Is it really worth it?

The hornet looked down on the field below,
  Then said to his honeybee friend,
  “That alluring sweet scent that does blow, 
  Means I’ve got work to attend!“
  The honeybee nodded, “Yes, let’s quench our thirst,  
  We can...

The honeybee; the maid of flowers:
Selflessly she toils for hours,
filling up her pollen stores---
never grumbling at her chores.

Sips of nectar keep her strong
as she labors all day long,
pollinating field and arbor,
and making honey in her larder.

Humble as her kind may be,
their loss would be a...

i love the early morning rasp of his voice
the birthmarks and burn scars
midsummer skin
i love the sticky rash of lust
the way a heart ticks until it implodes
the sugar soaked kisses

i do not love the way he smacks my face
the way he pushes too hard
the ways...

I am a honeybee, 
an indefatigable worker 
I work just as hard as an ant.
I don't work alone, of course
I have a colony behind me!
I'm a crucial part of the ecosystem

You'll find me feeding on nectar 
or pollen in the meadow, in the garden,
in the...

If I come to you in summer fields
full of fragrant bell-shaped flowers, 
would you fly that I might follow
to watch you dance before your fellows
in floral-edged soliloquy?

With vibrant tempos fundamental
you turn and run and circle 'round, 
find vertical inclination
to correlate the invitation
and fly the pathway...

From where I hover, I can see
pink, white and yellow in the grass
A lily dear enticing me
exhaling perfume as I pass
Her dainty face a weather-glass--
Then humming low sings from my soul
as I alight as bold as brass
and steal sweet morsels from her bowl....

Buzzing about, On wings of black
Wearing gold stripes
He lands on a pretty lilac
And sits there for a bit

Mr. Honeybee
Works all the day long
Drinking from the sweet pea
Nursing his appetite
With flavors bold as the fruit tree

Brilliant blooms
So lively and vibrant
They seem to breathe perfumes
Of joy through...

Honeybee
you say you are 
just one of many -
but you help 
my flowers grow
and you always
sweeten my day

Skylark
you say your song 
is just ordinary -
but your melody
is my morning sonata
it makes my heart sing
a song of hope
while the sky
is still dark

Friend
you say you
are nobody special...

Beautiful bush called tango hummingbird mint
Glows a fiery blue with oranges in a glint,
Hummingbirds, honey bees, butterflies too,
Love this plant with the orange and the blue.

I have been trying to buy these bushes for a while.
I am always polite and use my best smile.
I call...

A honeybee is potent
His angry frenzy
Gently touching my flowers
Giant pollination king...

While humming gently,
Dancing to his summer tune,
Flies little beebop!...
