curl to protect self
glutton for pollination
hold onto your sting
Cinquain today
summer
pollination
meandering and hot
provoke but beware aggression
no sweat
aggressive culling
destroy nurt’ring habitat
leave nature exposed
Finger Lakes summer
independence beckoning
float like cottonwood
elongated rain
leaves forest lush emerald
sunlight softens drops
manure lingers
mark time in wildflowers
nose honeysuckle
Toes always pointed
heron glides resilient
Spring displaced winter
