Bee
careful
where you walk.
A bee-dazzled friend
wants to remind you
to bee the change you want
to see by putting the past
bee-hind you and doing your own
sting on the buzzy flight path of life.

Putting the past bee-hind you. Love it.
A nonet works well here. It looks a bit beehive-ish.
Thanks, Cathy! I was going for the hive look. :)
Having a goal of making a 'sting' where one can is a "bee-ootiful" way to make life's plans, Bridget.
Oh a nonet. A busy bee reminds us to make the most of every opportunity to find the right flight path! But avoid that sting at all costs!!! Fun!

Thanks, Linda! Being a 'B' myself, I'm partial to bees as well. ;)
Thank you, Janet Clare! Bees can teach us a thing or two about life. As can a child's sidewalk chalk drawing... :)
