I want 2 bee worthy of this waking dream-
Floating in the sky
of July,
Yes, I will be up high soaring
Among the stars
and around the mars,
I will lose my mind
Of humankind
And a brief
Grief
Will hold me safe…
Upon ending the fun
of Being divine,
I will fall
With my twisted jaw…
With exhaustion
In a commotion,
I see one zillion mosquitoes
Plus one billion butterflies
Swimming at the heads of
One billion wild flowers:
White, yellow, red, blue, purple, green, or orange,
With a dragonfly being near,
I see a deer in the woods,
A horse in the pasture,
A rabbit in the backyard,
A pair of EYES at the window,
A knock at the door,
And a diamond on the floor.

Applying my imagination to write poetry and share with fellow poets are something precious, or diamond alike, simply put, writing and sharing =>diamond=>treasure!

This is a true bumble bee flight, worthy of its title. Just plain fun to read.

OH a zillion mosquitos!!! LOL–ah so many blood suckers for only so much blood! Sorry, but I can imagine a dense swarm of the little beasties just aching for a meal every time I venture to the woods.
Love all the internal rhymes, and the idea of falling to the earthly realm, which still holds treasures in store… Thanks, “Jingle”! Amy B.L.
What a colourful treasure you have given us. It is one that will stay…thanks so much Jingle x
We need a poem about deep woods off to use for all those darn mosquitoes lol. This is wonderful and vivid poem. i was on the trip with you even when you came down. Thank you for sharing.

Your last two posts go together nicely, Jingle. The last one filled with worry and fear and this one, full of escape.
i could see that land filled with butterflies (i deliberately ignored the mosquitos we are infested with them already).
you took me along with you to the hilarious trip.
That’s one more beautiful poem.
Highly inspiring!
Lovely colourful poem, Jingle. Well done!
it moves, this piece moves….
and that is a very good thing!
I found it kind of cute XD, it is great 😀 thank for the great work ^^
Love words, beautifully written Jingle
Love the words I ment , sorry
awe, very nice, very melodic xxx
Just loved this, the colours, the images, the words… everything.
“And a brief
Grief
Will hold me safe…”
really made me smile – when I thought of it, it seemed so right somehow.
Very clever! And the surprise was the last line!
Amazing what the minds eye sees and the colors of life it presents to us….clever write…blessings…bkm
I just love all of your images!!! Beautiful poem.
This is a poem to rejuvenate me: the use of colour, and textspeak, all say ‘young’,
‘lighthearted’, ‘happy’ – all things greatly to be desired when you reach my advanced age! Thank you.
I love the imagery! 🙂
