Bee Poems
#bees
Bee poems, nature poetry about bees. Poems about bees in relation to honey, flowers, pollination and the sun. Also erotic poems using bees and their behaviour as metaphors.
don’t get him started, because
bees are doubtless imperative for the
planet so long as they don’t sting me, damn it,
the old bloke in the pub says,
however, that he really doesn’t like wasps

hum
compelling notes amuse me
seeking the melody I hear
the source of it, nature herself
green humming quietly in the background
blue floating above
yellow lighting on my soul making it shiny
the trees gently sing songs of joy, songs of sorrow
they record history and if you're listening retell it
busily tending the flowers below
shading them, so their tender blooms don't burn
the flowers sing along with the others in soprano
sweet little voices, of angels
accompanied by the hummingbirds
carefully delivering pollen...

Nature Moving
One only waxes poetic,
Recounting nature's perfect kinetics.
Uses only immaculate phrasing,
To emphasise how amazing,
The stems, heavy hips.
The dropping of honey drips,
From the honeycomb,
That it's swaying whips.
The bee, hovers over, with power.
But gentle, goes into her flower.
The plosion of pollen.
What remains, the wind devours.
The cyrsos that conceals
A mirage that is real.
In flutters, her wings are spread,
A sensuous reveal

(#3) Bright Blue Walls: Tell it to the bees
I’d come to dread
and appreciate Fridays
as I woke up shattered
[you were right]
20 minutes before my ride
as I shoved swimming gear
sandwiches
hopes & dreams
into a worn black bag.
I caught the bus with seconds
to spare. It was a hot mess of despair
as I watched tired eyes remain closed
even after sips of travel mug coffee.
I entered the building
caught my skirt in the lift door ...

The Honey Bunch
Apologies, bold daffy dill,
it's another rainy day you face
when what I think you'd rather embrace
were sunbeams taming winter chill.
But bloom you must, and bloom you will,
to set a standard for the pace
of flowers getting to first base
in vernal pollination thrill
wherein the bees showcase some skill
in load logistic micro space
with stamen like steeples in the chase
for pollen loads intent to spill...
so she, her flight path will retrace,
to bee no springtime charity case!

Tell It To The Bees
When I was eight, a bee stung my face.
Tangled itself in my hair
saw me as an enemy
and shot hot venom into my skin.
My Mother ran to her screaming kid
as a moment of pure panic erupted
on Sunday’s lawn,
but the damage was done
my head throbbing, numb
where a bruise turned a vivid shade
of violet, as bold as my new fear
of small latching insects.
Fast forward thirty years
and I...

bzzzy as a bee
Where is the beatification?
Of a bee
Working away
Pollen, check. Petals, check. Honey, made.
Bzzzzzz
You only sting once,
YOSO
Then you die
Bzzzzz
Sweet nectar made sweeter by sweat
swat
Bzzzz
And droning on
The bee is so content
With the world

Honeycomb Hideout
she wore poetry with no panties as
her verbiage dripped ambrosial.....ephemeral
hinting at her scented garden...an invitation of sorts
to come and tickle her fancy
bold and demur
a daring woman indeed
she dripped again....eclectic...elegant
in holographic ink stains
gave me an esoteric strip show...facetious in falsetto
while I moon-gazed at the phases of her Luna
igniting a particular buzz...
got me wanting to finger-part her
lotus's fuzziness..spread enriched...

Forty Winks
Honey bees...siesta in the blooms,
Whenever it is too damned hot
And flowers seem like hellish tombs
From some Satanic afterthought
Where pollen is the Devil's dust,
Trapped in volcanic heat,
And wingbeats may erelong combust
In apiary defeat...
So please the bee to take a break,
On Acheron afternoons,
When labor is a big mistake
For Mellifera platoons,
Who wisely do not make their honey...
When it gets too fukkin sunny!
Whenever it is too damned hot
And flowers seem like hellish tombs
From some Satanic afterthought
Where pollen is the Devil's dust,
Trapped in volcanic heat,
And wingbeats may erelong combust
In apiary defeat...
So please the bee to take a break,
On Acheron afternoons,
When labor is a big mistake
For Mellifera platoons,
Who wisely do not make their honey...
When it gets too fukkin sunny!

It's Only Natural
I would have picked you flowers up the hill
But there was a lot of bees on them
And I kept going back ‘cause the flowers were pretty
Lots of shades of purple
I kept being drawn back
Pulled by the will to connect to you
In my mind you are a stunning flower
And my attention is the attracted bees
Filling with the bounty of your beauty
As I watched the bees
I felt the bees
And I started to enjoy their movement
And that was it
I was sharing a moment
Being connected to the flowers
Connected to the bees
Connected to...

that scent she wore,
like jasmine
in full bloom,
i am a bee
in search
of her flower.
