The Buzziness of Life``by MysticSilks

"The Buzziness of Life"

The bee had been
about his business
of gathering golden pollen,
carried in bags
on hairy legs.

He buzzed by
a clear glass window
to view his reflection,
or he thought, that of another
perhaps, a would -bee lover.
To his dismay
alas, demise
got caught
in the newly spun web
of a spider, who waited with patience
for supper.

The Guy Next Door-By Mysticsilks

The guy next door
rakes leaves while
the cold February winds blow.
Shes gone,
back to Burton, he said,
the other day standing at my door
shifting nervously
from foot to foot
not really knowing what to say.

Today, he holds
the cold wood handle,
a slump to his shoulders
as he works at gathering
the scattered leaves,straining his back.

His thoughts run like leaves tossed
and tortured before a February wind,
as he tries to rake them
into a neat pile to burn.
