“Honeybee Hangout”

honeybee crawls out

of picked hibiscus pile

and flies past my nose

“Must Leave Some For ‘Friends'”

Almost out of tea –

must pick more hibiscus soon:

excuse me, good bees!

“Busy Working In November”

Found some bees after

hibiscus, ginger and more

late-season flowers.

“Busy In November” Tanka 331

found some bees after

hibiscus, ginger and more

late-season flowers.

 

Out for jaimica tea blooms:

bee and I nodded hellos!

“How My Bees Handle Degrees*”

saw a bumblebee

on a matchbox-recliner

sippin’ an ice tea!

 

*(96 degrees Fahrenheit without the bogus heat index number – indices feel nothing!)

 

“My Way Is Destructive”

grazing with some bees

lachrymouse sweet hibiscus:

we both get nectar!

“Sleeping Hibiscus In Full Riot”

four kinds of bees, wasps

and now some hummingbirds flock

as I drink cold beer

“Ginger-Flower Feast”

Ginger flower feast –

stuff a dozen in your mouth:

boo-hoo for the bees!
