sucking on purple
essence of flower brings forth
promise of honey
flight from plant to plant
with pollen on its body
nectar is its draw
Author notes
Never got stung, but I sure love honey!

Out of the winners of this contest, this is clearly the best. The only line I have a problem with is "with pollen sticking to bod" which seems forced to fit the 7 syllable format. A suggestion for revision, if you want, "with pollen on its body". It had the traditional 5-7-5 and the traditional intents, which made it very good and well penned.
