Yes, Bhaskar, i think i have come across that.
I do enjoy animal allegories. Although not everyone agrees, i enjoy putting human characteristics into animal characters. My sonnet doesn't particularly attempt to do that on this occasion, but it does give a human reaction to the events, making them into tragic theatre or suspenseful cinema.

Reminds me of the Spider and the Bee episode in the fight between the Moderns and the ancients.

Hi Carl
They might debate it, but it's not a serious contention. The tragic figure would be the bee, but to know why he was tragic in the theatrical sense would require a prequel showing the events in the bee's life leading up to his death! Maybe an idea for tonight!

Nice poem, but I think the English teachers might debate whether the bee
or the child are part of a "tragedy". I remember reading for or against Willy Loman being a tragic figure.

Hi Chris - yes, bees are lovely - unlike spiders - but
where would we be without either of'em? Imagine all those flies without anyone to catch 'em. And then imagine if there were no flies! Even flies have their uses, but I won't go into detail about that!

Thanks, MC. I appreciate your comments.
A bit of a contrast, eh - yesterday, delicious desserts, and tonight, arachnoid saliva! Yummy.

Hi Lustorlove - poor child, yes, but even more poor bee!!
Death, where is thy sting? doesn't ring true in the case of the bee that loses it's sting, unless there is such a thing as bee heaven!!

and i think that bee got her just "dessert" in the end.
I am glad the child survived though.

Tony, oh the sound of clicking mandibles... gives me the shivers.
a little Hithcockian i thought....well some great lines all over, and you have outdone yourself. the dessert poem/skies before this one has delicious lines in it.... I wanted to eat that custard sky, inspired by "vanilla skies" perhaps?
