He Questions Spring

[John Wertz]

He Questions Spring

Jasmine flowers at the door once more.
How could it not?— it is but spring!
And he looks back on springs before,—
The bee alights, but will it sting?

[grant hayes]

A haiku-like concision, and the mixture of reminiscence and the suspense of the bee's sting is exquisite. Great title too.

[MHenry]

A spritely spring in your poetic step yields a lasting footprint in the sands of time. Short, sweet, and to the stinger's point. Well-written verse, John.

[John Wertz]

Thanks to all for your kind words. Loving spring here in the Lowcountry.
