Bees Don’t Sting…

Bees don’t sting –

for no-thing

but to protect them-

selves or the queen

they know if they do

sting you or i

they will surely die

committing suicide

kami-kaze, hara–kiri

and there’s the sting in the ta(i)le!

I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people! I am back after a break. Thanks for still being here, if you are! Missed you! xxx

  5. They have total commitment to their cause. Pity the same ‘sting-and-die’ rule doesn’t apply to warlike politicians.
    Mind you, it doesn’t stop religious fanatics.
