When Tickled Pink
.jpg)
the shades are drawn
petals given soft light
hush and then it comes
heavy clouds grant a deluge
the anatomy of a flower
deep and fragrant
on the scale of nano
a wellspring for Lilliputians
creepy crawlies
and winged intermediaries
go to the well bumble bee
drink of the fermenting dew
and pollen laced absinthe
stumble and jolt
tumble and hover
take your time
have your way
with all the greedy girls
these heads hang heavy
when tickled pink

Nice turn of phrase: “a wellspring for Lilliputians”
Would that be read, “wing-ed intermediaries?”
I love that picture in both B&W and full color.

Lilliputians - that's a great word, just had to look it up and it fits perfectly! Very playful poem, and such a sensitive view of nature, what with the bees having their way and all.
