But Matt beat me to it.

Bees don't move through honey except in the same way they move through amber you oaf.

Although there's probably the odd picnic where they move across it like flies across fly-paper.

I'll just about let you off if the people were doing a waggle-dance...

Many's an incorrect haiku.

This occurred to me as I wrote it, so imagine my suprise when it was selected.

It occurred to me also I could have said honeyCOMB, but it was a warm, dreamy morning, and the idea of moving through golden honey suited my sensations better.

This haiku is also pretty irregular.

Very impressive! Even though my Japanese genes frown at the syllable count.

You will post the article here, right?!

Awesome!

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is to high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

Never look down on someone unless you're helping them up.

Haikus annoy me.

"Ooooh this poetry lark is an interesting art form, with a unique capacity to depict the depth of the human experience. Let's make some pointless syllable based rules for it, that'll improve it! This is now the correct way to do poetry."

So japanese.

look'd like haiku. He

Said with a laugh "I
cut them in half, the pay is
