Hopping flower to flower
Life is a circle...

Self-worth over colony
Apathetic worker bee
Vast reduction of honey
Hive’s disparity...

Green reeds, descending bird 
Worker bee, message heard 
Passerby, image blurred 
Angel music, clear word...

"First a student, me,
Then, a worker bee,
Next, I will retire
Before I expire.
Finally, geezer-of-leisure free."...

'Tis a tree sloth that I be,
Dwelling in a tree sloth's tree.
When a worker bee
Asks what's up with me,
I say, "Sloth shall set you free."...

there is no pollen as sweet as an orchid’s pollen
there is frenzied buzzing at this announcement
worker bee backs off, sensing anger of the queen
no longer safely anonymous...

Apple blossom in full splendor.
Bees working in the midday sun.
Do you think they realise,
They're preparing the bounty to come.

They go to make their honey
For the likes of you and me.
Do we really appreciate,
The little worker bee....

The energetic hyper crazy worker bee saws a stem
For the prickly green thorns give him pause, annoying him
The rose looks more like a daisy anyway
Another reason he feels he can fool around and play
I watch from the safety of my lovely garden floral seat
Enjoying bee, who flies to another blossom to repeat...

What makes you the queen?
The bee gave me a look kind of mean.
She makes two thousand eggs a day said a drone.
Added a worker bee, she sits on the hive’s throne.
She is haughty and stuck up and lives her groove.
Queens like her have an arrogant reputation to prove.
I knew then that I was lost in the world of the bee.
I applauded the queen from my position on one knee....

Around three AM, he is awake
Uphill, upon a solitaire game
Loving the heat of his sweat
The distance whispers of his honey queen
The nearness of the morning howls
The mistakes and lazy gaze at the paining finger
The smiling mirror in his fuming eyes
The smiling lips in his coupled mirrors
The worker bee is dividing his blood
One for his sweat and other for the sweet love...

Not easily followed, a monarch’s flight
Delicate and dainty in so many ways.
Jealous of course is Mr. Worker Bee
She is lithe and lovely, pretty and light.
Wondering if she will last ‘til end of days.
She flutters past both my shoulder and knee.

She is amazingly easy to love
But will she return for all of my Mays?
Surely this will be revealed to me
All I know is she was sent from above....

Worker bee ant was sent to bake cakes in a kitchen.
I was assigned to poison ivy, so now I’m itch’n.
I wanted to switch, so I asked if she could.
No, I hate to bake, but compared to you, I am good.

I blamed my cousin who shares everything I say
A motormouth, he is a ding-a-ling most every day.
I lied and said the ivy was not so bad and asked to stay.
Worker bee ant knew better, so she laughed me away....

I used to be a worker bee,
And as far as I could ever see,
Would never have the sunshine time,
To sing a song, to pen a rhyme.

I longed so for a day I would be free,
To paint a picture, to watch TV,
That day came with new ways to live,
Bones got stiff, mind like a sieve.

Adapting to the new me I didn’t expect,
My new found freedom was circumspect,
But having cyber friends all over the world,
Is so encouraging to this aging girl....

To drone,
I have in a world
filled with prospered humanity.
Like a worker bee I
ready the honey in which
my society cares for;
I have grown tired of the strains
born upon my
labor;
although the smells I love,
it is never enough.
And the satisfaction returned is
forgotten, for fire
always triumphs the solace
that defeats the situation.
The hares that cower and stare
at this worker bee in his
working state;
a car with one route,
for two teenagers who wish for a
denoument....

Work like a bee

Industrious as can be

Work to pollinate

Our society with vitality

Work on boosting

And promoting beauty

Through inducing

Spirituality into all you see

Be like a worker bee

Industrious as you can be

Pollinating goodness and love

Kindness and compassion

Work on life with a fertile action

To spread peace and light

With an overwhelming passion

And help all the maintains

And sustains grow

Into wonderful magic....

GET IT OFF
THE BACK OF THE WORKER BEE
AND PUT THE WORLD IN MOTION
TO FREE THE PATH 
TO THE SEE

GET IT ON 
THE FLOOR 
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIE
DEEPER AND DEEPER 
TO THE CENTER OF THE SKY

FLOATING FREE
SUSPENDED IN A SOUP 
OF ALPHABETS AND STARS
SPELLING OUT THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD 
AND THE DIRECTION TO MARS

WHAT RELIGION IS MARS
WHAT COLOR IS ITS SKIN
WHAT IS ITS SEXUAL PREFERENCE 
AND BECAUSE OF THEM 
ARE THEY THE CENTER OF OUR SIN 

OR POSSIBLY
JUST
SOME PLANET OF AN EXCUSE...

Bees
September 2016

Bees live in colonies that contain one queen bee
There are 20,000 species of bees u see
They smell with their antennas and have the same agenda
To work 365 days and Scare away predictors with a hive wave
the worker bee and the male drone
Never leave Miss Queen Bee alone
In the sky he continues to fly
Till he finds her home in the breeze, Up high in the trees
Worker bees clean the hive, collecting pollen and nectar 
They promise to never neglect her...

                       waggling provocative tail…

that produce honey.
 The waggle dance, an elaborate series of movements by a worker bee, 
informs other bees where the best sources of food are located....
