Honey is sweet and amazing in every way, that is way people have used it as a metaphor; partners call each other 'honey', you mentioned Islam using honey for healing, but they also believe (literally) after death they go to haven, where there is 'rivers of milk and honey'(that would be interesting to see) ......... Enjoyable poem John..........thank you. Milica xo

The last part of it sounds like history lesson form the history channel. The metaphor gets lost at that point. then you need to look at this line: (At a firkin a groat - It will tickle you throat) I think you mean (tickle your throat) instead of (you) . It's kind of a telling piece that offers a history about honey as far as I can see. The first half is stronger as a poem for me. I think it could be trimmed down some. A poet friend// RH Peat

Interesting. Your maturity as a person is greater than that of you as a poet, however. It's not good to change mood from formal to casual in the middle of a poem. Nevertheless it's good to read the tribute to honey and the bee as both are in trouble in our environment.
