Symbiotic

Carpe Diem #602  Symbiotic
Our host had a delightful haiku about mistletoe.

dew fresh mistletoe
her sweet scent warms my heart
my first kiss

I had several different takes, the first in the manor of Tomas Tranströmer's "and the frigid sea"

oxpecker and rhino
humans and parasites
strange bedfellows

~

prestige and money
superficial symbiosis
how sad with no love


~

sipping nectar
bees dance among the red clover
sweet honey for tea

~

socialized honeybee 
pollinating flowers
since prehistoric days
