To Be, Or Not To Be A Bee

The life of a drone...

What a horrid life it seems to me,
To be the drone, a male bee,
Who lives for love and lust alone
For it he’s bred, fed and grown…

But the bee to woo the Queen,
Is among many who scorned have been
He who tried and failed has flown away,
To chase and woo another day.

Wonderful, Tomas,

And I wish you'd post your other poems here as well. I just read "The Death of Betsy Gray" and could not leave a proper comment. I truly loved this. A work that touches the heart. Loved it, Tomas. Please post your work on WC. We miss you here!

Best regards,

Rick

Thanks Rick. As a user, how do you find using the site? I find its getting a lot of visotors, but very little feedback direct.

You say there was issues using the comment section? Is it the CAPTCHA that caused the problem?

I hope to post more in the coming weeks!!!

[Rick Puetter]

No, the CAPTCHA is fine. It's just because I am not a member that I con't login and leave a proper comment. That's all. It's the same on WC.

:-/ Ill look into that...

It rhymes well and I love the poem

[David Scott]

I enjoyed the light mood and the "nature nugget" feel. The meter was off for me. I thinik it would be easy to fix unless it is your attempt to be random.
