Bees, by Norman Gale

Our moving adventures are ongoing. Meanwhile here is an onomatopoem by Norman Rowland Gale (4 March 1862 – 7 October 1942).

Bees

You voluble, 
Velvety
Vehement fellows
That play on your
Flying and
Musical cellos, 
All goldenly
Girdled you
Serenade clover, 
Each artist in
Bass but a
Bibulous rover! 

You passionate, 
Powdery
Pastoral bandits, 
Who gave you your
Roaming and
Rollicking mandates? 
Come out of my
Foxglove; come
Out of my roses
You bees with the
Plushy and
Plausible noses!
