Trepidation

another old one

Resolute

stood the mountain laurel

on the little hill.

Steadfast

held her leaves of green

to the noble sun--

and came along the little Bee

curious and bold.

His whispered words

of Trembling pulses

Yielded forth the prize.

This IS very Emily like, it reminds me of a movie, an english man went up a hill and came down a mountain, I was so impressed by that true story made for movie, Like I am by this beautiful poem. To stand resolute in ones convictions, is a beautiful thing, so stand resolute while the bee whispers, well that's nature calling :)

This is good! Short yet powerful! I enjoyed this!

I thought the message was clear enough! It spoke to me of the cool beauty of a woman, likened to the laurel in the warm sunshine... and the bee is the inquisitive one that whispers his words of enticement until he gains access to the sweet nectar...

.. a lovely sensual thought...the goal of every seduction..

[Ed Hart]

that's about as sweet as it comes, said another busy bee...

The love child of Stephen Crane and that other Emily, which, while highly implausible in the corporeal sense, is certainly not a bad thing at all.
