Rose and Lavender
Sue Vincent’s #writeprompt Fragrant
Rose and Lavender
Queen Bee takes comfort in her children’s adventurous disposition.
One by one, busy bees charm their home with fragrant quality.
Queen Bee swoons to luxurious perfume of rose and lavender.
She never knew her children would be so bold
as to forage deeply into roses’ chamber,
an unfamiliar territory.
Busy bees forge a path which promises opportunity,
survival for future bees and Queens.
The hive multiplies manifold.
In this decade of trying times
Bees will discover new ground.
Unfortunately for Royal Lady “What’s Her Name”,
fresh from her morning bath,
saturates the garden with her scent of
unmistakable rose and lavender oils.
Royal Lady “What’s Her Name”, spreads her skirts,
settles herself for an afternoon reverie
on her prized bench…

I like how you build the bees personality. I get a real sense of their industriousness and I’m already envisioning poor Lady What’s Her Name’s fate!

Thank you, Hélène. Yes, it is quiet, and raining outside. A welcome rarity in San Diego. Glad to have rest from a busy work week. So writing and hanging out with Luna. My sleepy lazy girl. Hope you are enjoying the weekend!💕
