Always Remember – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

Sting – Word Of The Day

Always Remember

How he loves to taunt and
play with your mind
wrangling plausibility
in such away
you even had to ask;
he’s totally mordacious
so slick and smooth of tongue
a gas-lighter of old,
but always remember
what goes around comes around,
and though this social bee is
buzzing with glee,
always
after the sting,
the bee dies.

    Gorgeous. And ‘mordacious’ – will be seeking an opportunity to use…

    Wish it would happen to one stinging self proclaimed King Bee.

    Great poem. I love – Remember what goes around comes around…after the sting, the bee dies. So much meaning in so few words. Wonderful!

    You’ve met my father, I see, although he is more wasp than bee, continues to sting…or did…

    How uncanny! I got stung by a wasp on this day, literally! I shall now reflect on it metaphorically! 🙂
