Faithful Bee  Butterflies flutter here and there Landing gently without care Pretty wings in constant flight Decorate air with sweet delight  But for faithful and for true You know what you have to do Ask the bee to stop and sip The liquid nectar from your lip  Flowers bloom in scent divine Call the butterflies all the time But if you want constancy You have to call the honeybee  Butterflies are sweet I know But they don't let the honey flow Honey is made by the faithful bee Come to my honey jar you'll see  Marsha Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Oh this is sweet as honey, Marsha...but I really love butterflies better than bees because they don't sting.  ~ flying hugsLyra |

  (giggles in delight) I love bees, but I'm afraid I am with Lyra too, bees are busier workers but butterflies don't sting! (kiss on cheek) This is a wonderful and cute poem, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

The bee is such a busy soul He has no time for birth control That is why in times like these There are so many "sons of bees" |

So that's the short and tall of it if first I want some nectar's sip first I need the honeybee's sing and I can only trust to not be the recipient of his swift sting |

This is delightful! The pics, the rhythm the rhyme. There are a couple lines where you're long a syllable or two and in one, short one. If you want specifics, let me know. I believe you can find them, though, you are so good at this! Then it may be the way I'm reading them, but the accents affect the beat, too, and you've set a delightful, almost fully consistant pattern. I love how you love nature! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
