GloPoWriMo 2023, Day 5, A Modern Triolet: Inebriated, She Yields Her Lips

Day Five Prompt

(see the options, they’re all here)

INEBRIATED  

Inebriated full of air,
the honeybees frolic and nip,
devoid of worry and of care--
 inebriated, full of air.
Straight from the tree, we shared a pear,
and then my girl yielded her lips,
inebriated! Full of air,
the honeybees frolic and nip.

    I love the imagery that your poem creates in my mind, Selma. It’s beautiful. I also love your photos – all of them are so lovely, it’s difficult to choose a favourite; however, if I had to choose, it would be the ‘stitch in time’ photo. Sorry, I’ve missed some of your recent posts; I’ve just been so busy with having my grandchildren here and, since then, trying to chase my tail in order to catch up. I wish you well, my friend. Xx 🌼💞

      Stitch in time is pretty. How precise the bug/bugs that made those holes! I’m amazed. One would think they carry a measuring stick. Thanks for reading. All the best to you, Ellie. xoxo

        I’ve been looking for you on the site but I find it so hard amidst the comments. Then you wrote a comment on my post, today and I found you. It’s always a pleasure to read you. XOXO.

          It’s complicated— that Disqus I cannot find my way around. And on phone, forget it. Drives me crazy. 📱 A stress I don’t need.
          Be well. Happy writing.
