Pose A Poetic Question Why do some poems not disappear quickly enough? My darling poetic friends please answer me What is the attraction of 'Faithful Bee'? This isn’t a poem that illumes the night It doesn’t float in my mind with pure delight The most that I can say of it is it’s not long But it is certainly not a souls sighing song I can’t think of anything good to say at all Why doesn’t that poem speedily fall? Dearest of dear poets’ can any of you tell me How can you even read that 'Faithful Bee'? I’ve written words that seemed to fly high Verses that spun word webs across the sky But this little rhyme was not in that league Personally I think its suffering poem fatigue A dreadful disease that lets out of your head The poem that really should’ve stayed unsaid Beloved poet friends please explain to me What is there to like about that 'Faithful Bee'? There’s nothing within it to make a sigh No words delivered that paint the sky Not a flame inside to burn with heat Nothing to raise your heartbeat There’s nothing special about it at all So tell me why doesn’t 'Bee' quickly fall? Marsha Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Marsha, Because my dear we all listen to a different drummer. And humanity needs a good plumber. Your poem is a delight as always. |

Marsha...'Faithful Bee' is just an endearing poem, and seems to be written with thought behind it. As does this one. both are creative and original. So to answer your question....we like it, very much, and thats all I can say. no explanation. its amazing what one single word can do. |

(smiles) Well I'll bee! I for one really loved your wonderful Bee poem, I actually to be honest think it is one of your most favorites of mine, and I know it is hard to explain why, but trust me, that too is a beautiful keeper straight from your heart! (kiss on cheek) This is an excellent question, sweet friend, you always write so honestly, 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..." |

QuizzicalMarshaLove~ LOL ... does that mean you think it's sort of like Tiny Tim's 'Tiptoe Through The Tulips'? Girlie ... somethings are just destined to stick around and become a classic with no reasonable explanation offered~ Get used to it ! LOVE YOU~ *BusyBeeHugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
