Haiku String of the Bee

Member since 2005 · Posted 7 Jun 2005 · 4 comments

Bee on my arm sniffs deciding am I nectar? Decision made Flies away into a day filled with flowering, stamen dripping sweet Legs packed with pollen love for queen dominating a busy harvest with the only love the flower can deliver nodding petals grin spindly legs buzzing from branches to pistils fresh with an offering.

I think haiku is not the best form for this. And "love for queen" seems unlikely.

I don't know.. maybe love for king is unlikely.. but part of me thinks that love is what motivates devotion to a queen... just being a lamer romantic.

Yeah, if you feel that way, but your metaphor of worker bees loving their queen - well, I doubt it.
