Iridescent blur sliced through the space
before me. A zing brushed the breeze teasing my hair
The sun winked a conspiratorial beam –
it’s going to be a beautiful morning
with the blue sky parading its fluffy fleece
and flowers spewing their golden breath
(to intimidate or to flirt?)
Then all too soon –
buzzing dervishes came
whirling in their gossamer wings
the flowers shuddered
swaying in their seductive dance.
The fleece hastened its fluffy march
the blue sky peeked out of the cracks
the sun beamed a radiant grin
basking in the beautiful morning
But I,
I hightailed it as fast as I can
lest I get trapped under the stinger’s end.
Yet, Â I was glad to know
life goes on.
For now.

Funny how such a little thing can wreak havoc on an otherwise peaceful day.
True, especially when the little things has stingers that make one itch and swell, depending on the degree of allergy. Although, I don’t think I have been stung by a bee. A wasp? Yes!
Bees are just fine as long as they don’t get too close. I enjoyed your write.
So true you are. They are lovely..at a respectable distance. 🙂
you have such a beautiful and descriptive way with words…Diane
This made me smile. Bees scare me and I avoid them. If I can see their stripes, they are too close!
I like the words you use describing the Beautiful Day with the balance of the playfulness of you hightailing it out of there!
…splendid… bees may not be a perfect companion in the morning but surely they all are a joy to watch in the field… smiles…
Yes a beautiful morning indeed. I like the spirit of this.
It’s funny … I love to have bees buzzing around me … I move slowly and in exchange, they buzz on. I love your image of ‘buzzing dervishes’ though! It’s perfect!
