A Little Life (Free verse) by Tom Colebrooke
The Humble little Bumblebee, It fly's around oh cann't you see. It comes from yonder little tree, And stings people like you and me. Afterwards it only dies, And makes little children cry. But all I want to know is why, It can't just say a little 'Goodbye'.

Up the ladder: The Phoebe Snow

Hey, we all need something a little light weight once in a while. Amusing, one for the kids .8.

Well ill give you 2 for effort (all 2 minutes of it) and ill give you 1 for the poem as it has basic (very basic) poetic forms of rhyme and rhythm, therefore i give it a grand total (soo dosnt deserve this much) of 3

fly's <-- flies

cann't <-- can't

cute poem, but in something so small the little problems really are mountains. flow/rhythm/etc are off and the rhymes feel forced. :/
