She was lil miss
Buzz the bumblebee
She wasn’t going to just
let her honey
be.
Fierce and protective
Her words truly stung
Only the sinister selective/
Callous collective.
Yet the rumors really hung
Floating around the honeycomb
“Queen Bee coming through”
However
She was lil miss
Buzz the bumblebee
And she was going to
Let her haters Be.
Mellifluous mornings
Tend to drown out the
Superfluous mournings.
Keep being busy
As you can be
Always be you
For you are a bee
Forget the fools
You
Don’t need to fix them.
She is lil miss
Worker bee
The pollen is where
The honey will be
And the honey is where
Her heart will always be.
So take the hint,
My friend
Without the likes of her
The world will go extinct.
So take the hint
And let her buzz free
And her sting be.
Clever word play and rhyming – and such a serious and important message as the culmination!
ReplyDeleteYes this is a lot of fun to read. Sadly for some reason humans are slowly eliminating the bee population by polution with chemicals on farming crops. Theres not much talk about it though but already there is artifical honey on supermarket shelves!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful poem, light-hearted, yet with a sobering message. I loved that it buzzed from stanza to stanza as a bee from flower to flower.
ReplyDeleteA great poem to read aloud! I should save it for the spring & read it to the bees in the wisteria (not honey bees, but still).
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bev and Rosemary. My favorite part is:
ReplyDelete"The pollen is where
The honey will be
And the honey is where
Her heart will always be."
Cute!
That was fun. I heard it to music. Nice conclusion.
ReplyDeleteWe can't lose the honey bee...
ReplyDeleteI am heartened to see how many people are keeping bees in my small area. There is one fellow just started this year and has the best honey I've ever tasted.
Love your bee utiful poem.
How incredibly delightful .... buzzzzzzzzzz.
ReplyDeleteYes, I so love the cleverness and wordplay in this piece. I read it out loud as any piece like this needs to be. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is sweet (pun intended). Recalls the hate Glyphosate Awareness caught on Twitter this week, Bayer having apparently given up efforts to censor us...how could we possibly have made the "farmers" bragging about having poisoned America's supplies of canola oil look worse than they made themselves look?!
