The Wee Bee


A field of flowers, green sinew,
sacred towers, past I flew,
until I came unto a flower
surpassing others in the power
of it's scent and in I went
to gather nectar, and now spent,
I return unto my honeyed nest,
beyond field, and over the crest
of yonder hill,
oh what a thrill
it is to be a little bee
with pungent nectar inside of me.

  1. Russell - I like how simple your poem is, yet descriptive. The rhyming scheme is good, and not forced. Good choice of verbs too! I personally the "honeyed nest".

  2. I also like this poem as well, it's short and concise with still much detail and imagery. It's a very effective short poem.

  3. I like it when people take something really simple and illustrate it with words the way you have here. I'm terrified of bees (well, of being stung by them) but I think they are fascinating!
