Honey Bee
by Saba Bennett
Hovering, careening, preening,
Beguiled by heavy petals gleaming –
Alighting for an instant, lucky flower
Timeless tongue flicks, honeyed hour
Sticky pistils, pollen-smeered
Smiling bee, glistening beard
Darts off into the yellow fog of noon
Yawning beds of blossoms swoon
About sabasabas
I am a satirist, by day a high school English teacher. I write about fitness, lifestyles, politics, relationships, current events, and travel from my home base in tumultuous Tucson. I try to keep my finger on the pulse of the increasingly bizarre cultural and political scene, and fancy myself a pundit and watchdog. I like to connect the dots from city to regional, regional to national, etc. I like to write cautionary tales free from political correctness and embrace truth, warts and all.
