Bumble bees and lavender

The bumble bees
love my lavender
They’re on it all the time
Drinking up the pollen
when the weather is sublime

And I’m jolly pleased
I planted them
last summer on a whim
As a bumper harvest later on
to me they now will bring

Limerick – Fall

​

Mr. and Mrs. Bee went to skydive to be light

Balloons in belly of a sky, in suits tight

Lighter than air, thin as cloud

Feather landing on moon, proud

Quuen-in-law stung, they so fell back in fright

I awoke in the middle of a flower

To a world of pink petals

And saffron yellow,

Dodoitsu – Honey-suckers

under the warm spring sunshine
inside blossoms and bright blooms
bees hop hither and thither
(poor honey-suckers)

The Deepest Parts of Me

Flowers say

To hummingbirds and bees,

“Come caress

The deepest parts of me.

Bees

These words
Swarm as bees
of longing hearts
And dried throats
Upon our necks

Drift

Fragrant violet day-light,
Soul breeze.
Bees meet aromatic blossoms, gently,
Buzzing, lifting the treasure,
Wings perfume dusted.
