POEM STARTER

In a poem, write about a love triangle between three people.

Will you write from each person's perspective with unique voices, or omnisciently tell the whole story?

The Bee

BzzzzzZzzzzzzzZzzzz


The bee is coming for me.


I know the bee doesn’t just come for me, but whenever he does, I have plenty of pollen to give.


BzzzzzzZzzzzzzzZzzzzzz


The bee is coming for me.


I know I’m not his first tonight, the evidence from his earlier exploits still present, but I take it for myself as I add my pollen to his load.


BzzzzzzZzzzzzZzzzzzzz


The bee is coming to me again.


Here he comes now. His load seems a little bigger this time, but I take what I can from him.





I know I’m not the bees only flower, but it takes all three to make seeds, and that’s okay.

I love the metaphor of the bee and the flowers representing the people involved in the love triangle. (Or maybe it’s not a metaphor. Art is subjective.
