yes, this is fitting… you did come bumbling by curious yellow~jacket to my wilting wildflower humming, hovering sipping, sampling savoring the taste i know it is true for you lingered lilted and stayed but as the setting sun turned my petalled hood you flitted far away like i knew you would ________________________________ ~this was inspired by something margherita said to me in one of her replies regarding bees and nectar ~to thank her i’ve written the following in her honor: haiku yellow~jackets buzz around wounded wildflower all due to nature senryu (hybrid) yellow~jackets buzz around wounded wildflower it’s human nature _________________________________ ~thanks, dear ‘rita…for always getting me : ) |

Yo dear Brneyedgrly, This is a lovely poem. However, bees, yellow-jackets, hornets, etc. never fly at night. They need the sun to navigate. They will crawl at night, and sting anything they touch. Love Bobby, the old bee keeper |

Wow, dear Shellie, you got that so right! A wonderful little gem, the imagery is perfect and the timing of the buzzing too, given the circumstances. And you knew, as I knew. Busy bees indeed. I learned a lot of words here ... bumbling, lilting, flitting etc. It's so nice when we inspire each other. Thank you so much for the haiku, which is perfect in both versions. Love and a hug. Margherita  ps Wanted to add that wildflowers have an innate ability for self-healing you know. |

Brown-eyed Beauty, you took our beloved Margheria's nectar offering and turned it into liquid gold poetry with this honey of a post!   EA |

~did any of you fine ladies (excluding bobby, of course) notice that these blue pages are free of bees? lol  it made me think of this: bees fly in daylight unless they are bee-ing watched no buzz to be heard ~cracking self up~ |
