The Honey Lies, Lies -deep in the center of the hive, amidst the built-up octagonal walls the honey, Honey Lies, Lies -at the core of the hive Cut off the wax capping and peer inside at the raw honey- - Honey Lies, Lies -inside The spinning frame sends out golden rain of honey- - Honey Lies, Lies -on the sides of the walls The translucent gleam from the golden stream of honey, Honey Lies, Lies -like a waiting trap The sweetest taste, like golden rain of honey- Honey Lies, Lies -on the tip of your tongue The sugary crystals- - the dark, sticky mess of honey, Honey Lies, Lies -at the bottom of the barrel And somewhere amidst that dangerous hive of honey, Honey Lies, Lies -the golden truth... concealed

There is that grain of pollen at the center of the honey that is based on truth. It's the sticky sweetness that gets in the way of understanding it. And once ensconced in its tender trap, all reality is lost.
Interesting. We usually characterize honey as a good thing. This is a new look at sweetness and the danger it encompasses.
Well done.
Leo

This is the first PATTERN POETRY form poem that I read in the last two years that comes as it should and sings to instruct and enchant; its form is artistiacally complied.

Pattern Poetry form, ~ also known as Emblem Poem ~ was widely used in the sixteen and seventeen centuries. Many writers CENTERLINE their compositions under the influence of Pattern Poetry, but without following the form's rules.

This is a poetic banquet... "Honey" enriches Nature and its mellifluous wonders.

In gratitude and admiration,
