Humble Bumble Bee

To hear the distinctive buzz

of active bees in my garden

hovering from flower to flower

never "begging their pardon"

a livery of black and yellow

with four lacy opaque wings

hind legs heavily laden with pollen

gathered along its wanderings

from its antenna to its stinger

the sweet thing shows it`s beauty

spied amongst scented blossom

this little humble bumble bee
