The Beehive

When forceful gusts rush the foyer today,

Within the house, the breezes sway,

A hum emerges, a soft buzz begins,

At the threshold, a neighbor's fuss akin.


As the teenager steps towards the door ajar,

A very emptiness greets him near and far,

Within his gaze, a bee takes flight,

Its daring buzz fills the air like a powerful kite.


Through the kitchen, then aloft to other rooms,

Annoyance stirs the loft as it resumes its vroom,

With youthful impulse, a shoe takes flight,

To confirm the missed attempt in broad daylight.


The shoe, a loyal-hand-tool missile without a guide,

Tumbles forth as if in a tipsy diver's stride,

Loafer, thru the window's pane, into the pool's embrace,

A shattered glass reflects the end of the chase.


Then comes a crescendo of buzz, louder it grew,

A swarms of wings, into the house a daunting view,

Seeking a purpose, a meer transient quest,

Homing to their queen, a duty on her behest


Consequences operate the learning's door,

Yet trapped in actions the youth abhor,

Logic relinquished, minds entrapped,

In the available choices, logic’s tragic lapse.


Now, a call to Mother must be made,

For drama's high pitched symphony to cascade,

Wisdom and prudence, they'll surely discuss,

Those bees have claimed the house in a fuss.

The poem "The Bees" describes a scene where a group of bees have taken up residence within a house, specifically in the kitchen and a nearby room. The bees are described as being powerful and noisy, with their buzzing sound filling the air. Despite the initial annoyance of the home's occupants, the bees are shown to be determined and persistent in their exploration of their new environment.

The poem also touches on the idea of logic and reason being abandoned in the face of the bees' unpredictable behavior. The home's occupants are described as being trapped in their own actions, unable to effectively deal with the bees' presence. The poem suggests that the bees have taken over the dwelling, with…
