Buzz buzz buzz
That's all I can hear
Buzz buzz buzz
It's loud in my ear
Bees are buzzing all around
In and out the eaves
Flying around in several groups
Exploring nearby leaves
Rachel doesn't like it
Mike's searching pest control
I just stand there watching
Them going in and out the hole
I think they're solitary bees
Not the ones that hive
They'll stay all through the summer
Then no longer be alive
I like the fact they're with us
There's a real buzz about the place
Just hope they stay being friendly
And don't fly in my face
I thought that this was great! It really made me smile - it had such a light and humourous tone to it. Good luck for the BIBS - just saw the badge!
ReplyDeleteThanks, are you going to be there?
DeleteGreat poem! Has a really good feel to it.
ReplyDelete(Did you know that some bees hibernate over the winter?)
Good luck in the BiB by the way :)
Hibernating bees, where? Think I might need to check my roof space. See you at bibs?
DeleteGreat poem - the rhyming seemed effortless. I love the image of you just standing calmly watching them while around you others are panicking to get rid of them.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny isn't how solitary bees never seem that solitary. We get them in our garden - must have counted at least two dozen holes in the last few days.... And that's in addition to the swarm that set up home in the tree outside. There's definitely a buzz about my place this year!
The meter on this is spot on. Nice take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteOops, I commented but seemed to have lost it.
ReplyDeleteNice take on the prompt, and meter spot on. Well done.
This one reads out loud so well,love it!
ReplyDeleteThis has such a great rhythm to it and is such a great description of our relationship with bees. Thank you for sharing your poetry!
ReplyDeleteCute! I always prefer to give solitary bees a respectful distance, myself.
ReplyDeleteLove the rhythm and rhyme of this! Tried to comment a few days ago, but it didn't show. Hope this one doesn't go astray.
