Published Poem

Here is the poem that I recently had published.

Bee Peril

Sitting in my garden

Slowly drinking tea

A faint buzzing sound

In front of me a bee

It seemed to hover there

Just looking me in the eye

It had me hypnotized

As the time passed slowly by

I watched it fly from flower to flower

Then it settled on a rose

It flew towards my face

Stung me on the nose !!!

Once more it flew towards me

I panicked and tried to run

It seemed to follow me everywhere

I think it was having fun

I was just like a madman

Hands whirling like a windmill

I fell over a rake, a hose like a snake

And yet it followed me still

I ran into the house, all shaking

In blind panic and despair

Saw my reflection and started to smile

For there was a flower in my hair

It must have stuck there when I was gardening

So that was the end of that

But from that day to this, no more amiss

When gardening I wear a hat.
