give


when the pink trumpets
sing their petalled song

what walls come down
as the bee
bathes
in its downy prize

    How inviting that pretty little flower must be to a bee.

    I like the thought of the bathing bee...sounds better than coming to move pollen from one flower to another. :)

    i love to think of bees as so powerful. breaking down walls.

    today i sat on the edge of a pond and listened. there were bees. (mosquitos too.) i was happy.

    Even Joshua in Jericho couldn't boast as much as the bee in this poem. That was what struck me immediately! Love this!

    Sumptuous, Steven. In images and words, absolutely sumptuous.
