Old Wasp Nest [Haiku]

looks like the whole hive
hulked its way out.

“The Fly” by William Blake [w/ Audio]

Source: USGS Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab
Little fly,
Thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.

Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

For I dance
And drink and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.

If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death,

Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.

Tattered Moth [Haiku]

a moth, wings tattered,
basks in the canopy-
breaching spotlight.

Pollinator [Haiku]

the bee wallows 
in pollen like a drunk
sprawls on a bar’s floor.

Sanctum Discord [Haiku]

the inner sanctum:
an insect chirps ceaselessly,
 but remains unseen.

Choosy [Haiku]

a butterfly flits
over blooms: a connoisseur
 not deigning to land.

Sky Fire [Haiku]

the sky 's afire:
a day's death throes;
bugs mourn loudly.

Mexican Sunflower [Haiku]

the sunflower
catches warm afternoon sun,
but bees aren’t impressed.

Butterfly Dogfight [Haiku]

butterflies 
 in spastic jinky orbit:
  play or bloom combat?
