Bee-Charmed In June

A bee waxes
the floor of its tree house
sculpting waffled pantries
that niche the queen‘s roost-
such labors cross-stitch  pockets
that encase a warm and holy nectar.

From this explains the brutal
sting of footfall intrusions
upon clover dales and fields;
reminding us its grueling path
must beat the evening clock
from flower to royal adobe.

Dare we weave and dodge
its humming tremelo,
to witness buzzing pursuits
or have a fear for this speedy
time-traveler importing
liquid gold into our cups.

    The bee waxes its floor ,a good start.
    Gold is just an ornament that brings lust,
    Liquid gold is natures gift to mankind for honey is
    very good for health.

    Yikes . . . trouble reading again (because of the background and italics).

    Something tells me the poet knows something about the stitching crafts. Very traditional poem. Still works.

    liquid gold huh? I like honey too. It causes the human body to build resistences to germ spread illnesses.

    excellent!

    Honeybees produce much of our food through many different ways. This poem has a brilliant sting to it and the music fits it to a perfect T.

    What lovely, lively imagery ...

    of sound and color and taste and buzz! I loved this: the determination, instinctively led to feed, protect, labor in the beauty of Love.

    How wondrous the Elixer of Sun in awareness of Whole!

    Love you, little Honey Bee! Thank you for your rich being.

    A unique look at a simple concept

    I love the first verse in particular - the imagery is spectacular. "To this explains" doesn't make sense to me, should it be "So this explains", possibly, or am I just being stupid? This is excellently worded and much more clever than I am used to (my brain is struggling to cope...).

    Well you surely brought adventure to the bee Cookie it wasn't at all boring. Very well thought out and clever much deeper of unique and higher IQ skills. My brain couldn't have written anything like this. Wonderful piece just I couldn't have done this in the way of making it seem like a movie from start to finish in fast play. ♥
