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.

ReplyDeleteA nonet works well here. It looks a bit beehive-ish.
Thanks, Cathy! I was going for the hive look. :)
DeleteHaving a goal of making a 'sting' where one can is a "bee-ootiful" way to make life's plans, Bridget.
ReplyDeleteOh 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!
