Daylight enhances
The bee’s nuances
An innocent flower
Smiles like a tower
Thinking it has power
Buzzing in attractiveness
It hovers until the flower gets powerless
It then perches, sits, gets comfy and sucks
Thanking God for its lucks
The nectar weeps
Hating where its soul seeps
Until its shouts diminish
Into the bees beaky finish
That was a smart worker
Who was rewarded sweets as a nectar sucker
Let all flowers take a cue
For after nectar stealing, there’s no one to sue
And sure, all nectar attract bees
Bees who see from far the nectar seas

Suckers…for me (and my way of looking at it)…are predators. If I understand the meaning of this?

Yes, symbolically, I mean predators of beauty. Human predators preying on beautiful people.

well I really love how you mix so many subjects into your poems – like here we have science – social cues, and the litigation (no one to sue) just brilliant.

nectar suckers lol I naively think of them as nectar sippers. 🙂 Beware!

Not naive Lady, I know they are sippers but the symbolism I needed called for the use of suckers. Meaning if a flower blooms (a pretty lady is of age, many prey on her) the sippers are good and the suckers are bad. I hope you get my point.
