Birds and Bees

~ 

I stood there still among the trees 

My breath the only sound 

As the birds and bees all gathered 

To meet upon sacred ground 

I listened as the blue bird 

Changed his solemn tune 

And the honey bees stirred sweetly 

Beneath the crescent moon 

And still I stood among the trees 

My breath the only sound 

Watching as a feathered prince 

Stepped forward to be crowned 

"I am a bird, my Queen a bee" 

He spoke to all who before him

Declaring the love within their hearts 

Was all that really mattered 

And with my breath the only sound 

I stood among the trees 

Wondering if this is what they mean 

When they talk of the birds and bees

What about the Feather print?

[Writer at last! Sky ~]

So easily they have expressed their love and shared love with ease. Birds and Bees luck enough to hang around the trees. I like this read.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

You pose quite the question following some intelligently thought out verses.

[Ana Papaya]

Thank you kindly my friend.

[Paul Bell]

You sort of think this should be the birds and the bees. Certainly a whole lot nicer than the stalk flying through the air. Great write.

[Ana Papaya]

Hello Paul, thank you so much. :) The stalk flying through the air, yeah. Whole 'nother story.read moreHello Paul, thank you so much. :) The stalk flying through the air, yeah. Whole 'nother story.

Thank you too Ana...

[Ted Kniffen]

A wonderful nature poem, must be those Canadian sensibilities, hewers of wood and haulers of water and all.
One small thing...He spoke to all had gathered...maybe...He spoke to all who gathered. Other than that a great piece.

[Ana Papaya]

Thank you Ted. Yes, I like your suggestion.

[Lyn Anderson]

Nice catch. Bad kitty for not seeing that.:)

[Ana Papaya]

where would I be without my friends eh?
writing less than mediocre poetry I guess.

[Lyn Anderson]

Come on. That was not called for. Teeny tiny mistakes do not an inferior poet make. It makes you human, and also, auto correct really does do some stupid thinks. It puts Oklahoma in for OK.

[Ana Papaya]

haha! you are so funny. did you write stupid "thinks" on purpose. you did didn't you.
and i was just baiting you. : P My predictive text overrides best for breast. I must talk about b***s a lot i guess. anyway, I think it would be fun if we posted a poem that starts with "Once upon a time and then see where the predictive text takes us from there. As a fun experiment.
I always have a choice of three words on my phone but the highlighted one is what it corrects to...

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, yes I did. Thank you for reassuring me that your self esteem is intact.:0

[Ana Papaya]

yeah, sarcasm doesn't come across well in text does it. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Oddly, sometimes we don't read it, and sometimes we do. That is why texting is a tricky business among friends.
