Bee Convention: A Nonet
Bees
party—
bumblebees,
honeybees dance
flit-flying on blooms
abuzz-huzzing, then zoom!
They gossip, bop between stops
dip into winterberry buds—
blossom rave on the cusp of summer.
party—
bumblebees,
honeybees dance
flit-flying on blooms
abuzz-huzzing, then zoom!
They gossip, bop between stops
dip into winterberry buds—
blossom rave on the cusp of summer.
