a teaspoon full of honey
A breakup "nonet" love poem
Forage—work: unseen. Your iphone-eyes
cast “ludwig” on a rose— I grow
the earth— your dreams. A teaspoon
full of honey is my
gift; my legacy
is life. STOP! (When
you burn the
world, it
stings.)

Author's Note: I wanted to do a breakup nonet with an environmental twist to show the connection between bees and humans.
Each worker bee makes one teaspoon of honey in their lifetime - but more importantly, works to ensure the continuation of life on the planet via pollination. How could we not love them enough? (We don’t) 💔
Save the bees, please. If they go extinct, so will we. 🐝

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

They are indeed fascinating! I thought I read most of your nonet entries, yet I guess not.😊 Have you done any others for the silence acrostic ?
You talk about bees a lot in your story and poetry this summer. Great way to put awareness through
This is a gorgeous nonet, beautifully and meticulously painted ♥
Excellently written, love it
This made me feel so sad for the bees 🥺 Thank you so much for dedicating this to them!
Love this unique nonet poem.
