A Bee’s Feast

Bumblebee upon the tree
of dogwood circles fine
to a garden of azalea bushes
beside the crooked pine.

There he dances delightedly
encountering many flowers:
a plethora to dine and sip away
the lazy summer hours.

Courtship

A besotted bee
dances with one small flower
among the ivy

Cavendish

Giant anthers of yellow
Honeybees recumbent
Banana pollen

Thirst

Honey bee stroking
Buds of purple lavender
Hopes for quicker bloom
