B FOR BEE

A Poem

Jan 16, 2021

B for bumble bee
Buzzing in the flowerpot
Bumping into colorful petals
Basking in the floral fragrance

B for angry bee
Buzzing angrily!
Banging against the pane
Betrayed into illusory freedom

B for the army bee
Brandishing its sting
Bravely guarding the honeycomb
Banishing intruders with a sting

B for diligent bee
Busy fending for nectar
Bolting from one flower to another
Breathlessly working hard

B for the worker bee
Born to toil!
Bustling hither and thither
Between jobs without pause

B for the queen bee
Breeding in seclusion
Big sleek well-fed royal
Born to perpetuate the race…

Bee for B
