The poet'S honeycomb (quintuple haiku)

Len Lewis 1943 (Port of Spain, Trinidad)



Prolific phrasers
 gild poetry dot com's parade
 with lyrical fare.
 Motley paraders,
 Persistent and passionate,
 Push peers past their peaks.
 Bards are to poetry
 As some bees are to honey;
 Collecting nature's,
 sweetest deposits
 from here, there and everywhere;
 just to bring them back,
 to their cyber home
 this buzzing internet site.
  Poetry's honeycomb.
