I recently learned that autumn isn’t the best of times for drone honeybees, but there’s still time for the rest of us to get high on nectar. And since the humble haiku is nearly nectar in the poppy fields of poetry, I’ll defer today to an industrious honeybee high on nectar of a windblown poppy blossom.
High on Nectar Haiku
Pink petals flutter,
honey bee, high on nectar,
bustles, persistent.
What do you think?
