a little re post just for a summer chuckle
A ladybug landed on my nose today So startled was I Wasn't sure what to say So I crossed my eyes The better to see This wee little creature Staring back at me Well...hello there how do you do Are you looking for someone Or just passing through? I was following my friends They've gone to your garden But I needed to rest So I beg your pardon For disturing your nap For making you lurch But this huge protrusion Seemed a fine place to perch It's called my nose A fine one indeed You may rest at your leisure As long as you need That's quite a kind offer But I must get there in haste Could you give me a send-off I've no time to waste What could I do?.... Not a thump nor a swat It had to be quick But a thought I had naught Then right out of nowhere Came a strong breeze Bringing swirls of pollen... I was feeling a sneeze This might be it ! From my nose she would launch Right to the garden In time for their brunch A gasp and a shudder An ahhh and an ooooh She was lifted in flight With my mighty cah-CHOOO! Good-bye my friend I wish you God speed It's been so nice to nose you Sooo nice indeed

Marvelous dialog and imagery. There has to be a book of children's poems in the making. M.True

what a great intro to your works, such a breath of fresh air truly, ..so much of my writing holds grey weight, so to read something of such color and life is bless'd, and of all the garden creatures that grace our blades the ladybug happens to be my most favored, very cool indeed.

Very good. I've never had a conversation with a ladybug before. Now I know what I'm missing.

You pleased me no end with this delightful poem and how I felt I was that little bug in your descriptive words but then I could not enjoy the laughter this poem gave me to end my night. Wow, this is my kind of poetry.
