NaPoWriMo, day 16: “glory bee”

For Day 16 of National Poetry Writing Month we are supposed to write a poem full of overblown superlatives in praise of somebody or something..

glory bee

beatrice the hearts are thumping
all for you around the earth
sheep are bleating joints are jumping
all proclaiming all you’re worth

listen to the canyons howling
fox hyena wolf and dog
even bathrooms start unscowling
toilets here and yon unclog

we’ve been well and truly goddessed
basking in thy benediction
glory bee though thou art modest
thou’rt the stuff of science fiction

thou’rt the stuff of epic poems
thou’rt the stuff of stovetop stuffing
thou’rt the awe of sherlock hoems
and thy pornstars need no fluffing

giggling thou art windchime musicks
casting spells with merlin’s magicks
half-and-halfing tea and mueslix
kissing off cyanophagics

bliss away our deepest sorrows
tiptoe through our thirsty psyches
aphrodite our tomorrows
fleet our steps with golden nikes
