Without the bees buzzing, there would be no blossoms blooming!

Love the alliteration you've used. Nothing but the letter B giving us the buzz! Beautiful presentation. Good luck!

This work has reached the exceptional level

I'm tickled pink with your pink presentation! The alliteration is complete with a beginning 'B' for every word, and the picture and background only add to the perfection!

They certainly do! Bees buzz and flowers need them to pollinate the blossoms all the time!
I love this 2-4-2 poem and what it tells us about nature's love!
This is excellently done and for the whole of nature, it is good!

    Thank you Jesse! I was hoping people would think of the role and significance of bees! We need them.

From the title, I thought the poem might be about how being busy sounds attractive, but who you are as a person is more important. It was unexpected to read about bees and the beauty of flowers to them.

    Thank you Sarah. This tiny one was a prompt to celebrate the interaction of bees and flowers, a mutual blessing and so important in the food supply chain.

    Thank you Roy. We desperately need to look after our bees for the health and well being of our food supply chain. The role of bees is essential.

Okay. I'm going to try for one hundred fifty words. I'm getting there. That was a really magnificent example of alliteration, Wendy. I think I did it.

    Nah. Not even close. You only did 150 characters! I was expecting a whole paragraph of 150 words!! 😃
    I?ll give you a hint. The space bar works well when one gets stuck for words. Thank you so much for reviewing my eight little syllables. Love it.

This 2-4-2, The Beauty Busy-ness, has the proper formatting and adds alliteration to bring the boing-ing bead blender into focus for better banalysis.

Well done, as normal. Still, the shorter the challenge, the harder it must be to compose something sensibly. Further, the people who read and then try to comment, need to write far more than the author. That is a mystery and should be addressed by the people in charge to ameliorate.

    You are so right. I totally agree. The reviewer needs to be very creative to get 150 characters written about eight syllables. 😄
    Thank you for trying. I appreciate it.

As soon as I saw the title I thought of a beauty parlor. The old fashioned kind. Black and white tile floor, air thick with hair spray. Then I saw the picture of the flower. I got confused. Read it. Saw the word Bee. Immediately, saw the beauty parlor again with bugs sitting in chairs getting bee hive hairdos. Fun poem. (Bear in mind, I read and reviewed before my first cup of coffee.) Gretchen

    Lol. What a fun review! A tiny piece here, to give readers some respite from my long pieces. I hoped it would prompt readers to celebrate bees and their role and significance. Thanks so much for reviewing.
