Clover, or Tea for Two (A Butterfly Cinquain)


There is

a hint of mint

on my lips and a hum

of lemon on my tongue.  Enough

for two?

say you. Yes, and please.  Iced or neat,

where our lips meet, sugar,

how you honey

me sweet.

Clover honey is made by bees who collect the nectar of clover plants.  Shamrocks are a type of clover.  Happy St. Patrick’s Day, y’all!
