My friendly bee, you inspire me to write.

I love the way you sting, swim, and waddle,

Invading my mind through the day and night,

Always dreaming about the right noddle.


Let me compare you to a plump cherry?

You are more tiny and more terrific.

Ice bites the debris of February,

And winter time has the scientific.


How do I love you? Let me count the ways.

I love your white elbows, fingers, and thumb.

Thinking of your good fingers fills my days.

My love for you is the amazing plum.


Now I must away with a random heart.

Remember my fat words while were apart.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
