The breeze and I

Her words flow like a high powered fan
And I always seem caught in the breeze.
If she'd only put some honey on these
Like my favorite pastry marzipan.

Most often they would sound like a bears roar.
A she bear, in an unpleasant mood.
With a sting like a bee in conclude.
Each cacophony of strident SEYMOURS

I shrink with each thunder rap so loud
That my innards would shrivel and quake
She sounds to me like the devil in wake
Chumming up for his daily becloud.

T'is no fun to stand the breeze of a fan
If it whacks you like a towel in the can.

Ok, HELP! I do not understand stanza two, line three. 'Splain, please? Otherwise, I think I get the gist, and again, you've done a good job!

Sunshine,
You caught the weakest line in the poem
I wanted to say each statement finshed with the sting of a bee. Keeping it in the rhyme form I was using was difficult. I'll do better next time, thanks for the read.
i enjoy your comments and your great poetry.

Dear See, I hope you don't mind
when I question a rhyme
I like to understand everything
and most often, your poetry sings!

Thanks, too, for inspecting my work
sometimes the words come so fast
I don't want to appear "the jerk"
and I'd like to think my poetry will last.
