Said the Flower to the Bee Oh, little bee with humming wing Please brush my floral splattering With life’s sweet kiss, imperative To God’s own blueprint for the spring We give and take, we take and give By mutual need and yearn to live. The kiss of life you now bestow Is powdered dust through nature’s sieve You buzz the woodland to and fro And bathe in fragrances that blow Tomorrow’s seed, tomorrow’s bloom As seasons ride their ebb and flow For life is meant to be consumed By earthly winds in autumn’s moon And consecrate a future dawn With fertile seeds for April’s womb Oh, little bee, your kisses spawn New life on meadow, woods and lawn And in return, my cup will give A nectar’s sip, that you may live Elizabeth Santos |

Ah how lovely Elizabeth!! I dearly enjoyed watching the bee flit from flower to flower. Your imagery and flow is unbeatable. ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ To have lived the dream of a love so true... |

You really should publish a book of Poetry dear gal.... 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 "son's of bees"... |
