happiness

dimpy

one day 

a bee sucked the happiness

out of my house,

after some time i realized

happiness kept flying

from one house to another...

    What a lovely thing to have a flower as a home. This poem a metaphor may be taken several ways and I chose to take it as having to give to others joy one does so freely and imparts it on wings of others. A bee often revisits flowers and joy may well return as it was sent. A wonderful poem

      Indeed, the bee took some happiness and pollinated the other "homes" with it. There is a sadness, a feeling of theft, and then a profound realization that dawns in this poem. It starts off feeling sad...like happiness was taken...but then the realization that it is still flying around being shared. It can be taken in many different ways, but I feel both sides to this. A wonderful job! 🌹👏

      Powerful in the short form.
