Drone Strike 8. Collyanna
When an ant applied for work
at the Bee Hive, citing that
her contributions to the colony
went unappreciated, the drone
in charge of Insect Resources
scratched his goatee and said,
Honeychild,
you really should
see the good in yourself
---stop being so concerned
with the buzzings of others < hive shaped stanza
---do whatever it is
that makes you
and only YOU
happy!
She took his wisdom
deep into her thorax
and returned to The Hill
forever after seeking out
the good not just in herself
but in everyone and thing
and was damn glad to be alive
