Humming Bird Moths At Moon Rise

Luna flower spread open scented blossom In response to the full moon's soft yellow glow So much designed like a Sand Dollar Amazing the resemblence even with first sight Humming Bird Moths drawn to the glowing white The irresistable beauty and appealing scent Ten were buzzing, humming drinking nectar From white beauty by only moonlight Ants were working even at night Drawn to the goodness that will leave at dawn Preparing a storehouse of goodness for winter So that the species can survive to rule summer picnics That scented sticky nectar must be delicious Tasting like a very rich clover honey So sweet that just a tiny amount sweetens So many slices of simple bread Amazing the blessings to enjoy from simplicity The simplest things in life sometimes give goodness That wealth can't provide Sometimes wealth has gardens but not enjoyed

I love how you took something simple yet beautiful and created all the little world around it. A delight, Sara. OH, and the child of my poem was kinda based on me, the great jello lover. Today healthy as a horse. Pickiness is not gonna hurt anyone and don't I know it! Luv, andrea ps. I hate jello these days

I've never seen this flower, but your words create such a lovely picture of it, Sara. The Luna flower must be quite a beauty seen beneath the moonlight. Love, Carolyn
