Impish Grace

Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria)

Impish Grace

Along the creek, the sunbeams dance,
On purple spikes that caught my eye,
A fuzzy bee is in a trance —
she’s bobbing, buzzing, bumbling, by!

She rolls in pollen, head to toe,
And takes a sunny, fuchsia seat,
Uncaring this is a “no-grow,”
She knows she’s found a tasty treat.

So pretty in the afternoon,
Magenta splash of impish grace,
We’ll let the bumblebee just spoon,
Enjoying this enchanting place!

‘Til next time, y’all…
