NaPoWriMo #17: The Angry Bee

There's a cat in the garden
and its chasing me
along the fence
I could just sting
but make no pretense
I will use it
in defence,
my last kamikaze
will be no use to me
if the cat gets away
Scott free
or is it Charlie free?
I can never be sure
but maybe I should
maybe I should just sting
the mewling ball of fluff
those claws aren't worth much
against the wrath of a hive.

NaPoWriMo #8: Buzzing Under the Influence

The nectar-sozzled bumblebee
buzzing in a daydream bliss,
reverses out of a flower
speckled with pollen.

He stumbles about the petals,
nearly tumbles into the weeds,
but rights his wings in time
before colliding with the soil,
and burbles home
to what he thinks is his beehive.
