I went out to the garden
looking for spelling bees
there were many beside me—
a bumble bee entered foxglove’s bell
it was not the one I seek
then one buzzed my head
anxious at my presence
to say the word
say the word

dVerse prompt for a quadrille using the word spell
perpetually grows in the garden
it seeds itself
strong splendid stems
support the deadman’s bells
beautiful but deadly
all parts are toxic
known since ancient times
it can be medicine or poison
purples whites and blues
form bells that tower over
only the right portion heals
too much kills
