honey bee henry was followed by bees back to his door
his newest neighbor asked “have they ever done this before?’
The other neighbors laughed, for it happens all day long.
“Daily!!” they yelled from their houses, eavesdroppers strong.
slips slide snuggle signs
wriggly wrapped window wanders
earful eavesdroppers
earth entertains everyone
taking time to tell the truth
Abating winds christening
Tempess rains glistening
Mind struck soul becoming
Whom are those around whom are listening
Eavesdroppers
Picking up death deafs words
None that be heard
Busy bee talkers
