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.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! Being a 'B' myself, I'm partial to bees as well. ;)
DeleteOh 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!

Thank you, Janet Clare! Bees can teach us a thing or two about life. As can a child's sidewalk chalk drawing... :)
