Today's second freebie poem is courtesy of new donor morrigans_eve and prompter poeticknowledge.  I found that the fluidity mentioned by morrigans_eve fit well with the feisty character mentioned by poeticknowledge.  We don't have television, so somebody who actually watches The L Word  and knows Shane will have to gauge how close I came to the mark.  Note: this poem contains some frank language about human sexuality and life challenges that may not be to everyone's taste.  Think before you click.

This poem was inspired by a prompt from red_trillium.  It is presented as today's second freebie poem, courtesy of new prompter bodlon and new donor Christian Young.

Now, the bumblebee in this poem is a New Yorker, with a vocabulary and attitude to match, so I'm putting this below a cut.  People unfond of coarse language may prefer to read something else.  I sympathize with the poor bee's predicament -- but I consider the poetry student the winner of this altercation.  Also, the quoted lines are by Emily Dickenson.
