December 18: "Write a drabble - that is, a story that is exactly 100 words long - on the subject of 'bees'" (from Hades Lord of the Dead)
A/N: It felt like a good time to write a poem. Guess I wasn't feeling quite constrained enough yet. XD
Dear Watson, say, I have some news:
My latest subject—great to muse—
The honey bees and bumble bees
That bumble gladly through the trees!
-o-
And mason, mining, leafcutter,
The lovely sounds that they do utter,
Oh! Flower, long-horned, stingless bees;
Some hibernate, all love the breeze,
-o-
The hairy-footed flower bee;
It lives alone—it's just like me.
Many, it seems, are solitary,
More than I thought ordinary.
-o-
Friend Watson, come and see me soon!
I'm free till Thursday afternoon.
My books and bees are great, it's true,
But so, old friend, it seems, are you.
-o-
Sincerely,
S.H.
