A little something

I've been busy lately so haven't been able to post as much as I'd like, but i have been writing pretty consistently for the past couple months. I'm drawing as much as I am writing, but since I haven't got a good way to scan in the images I am making, we'll just stick to the poetry for now! Here are a few verses I came up with a few weeks ago when ODB had the prompt "Insects and Creepy Crawlies"


across the blanket
a picnic feast awaits
the intrepid ant

***

bare skin attracts the
attentions of amorous
lady mosquitoes

***

one
fat
lazy
fly buzzing
against the glass pane
befuddled by the barrier

***

Dragonfly

terror of the sky
the dragon chomps another
pesky mosquito

***

and here are a couple random ones that I came up with on some lazy afternoons...

melodious notes
drift from silver wind chimes
on the orange breeze

***

tiger lilies purr
ferocious feline flowers
napping in the sun

***

in distress or not
damsels are often captured
by pink snapdragons

***

like a movie scene
white petals fall around us;
my heart should soar but
unkind reality sets in;
you are not the one...
