The Summer Garden Party

The rooster led his harem forth into the garden for a party There they would dine from mother earth Aphids on roses, worms they ate harty Queen Ann's lace was laced with caterpillars And rolly pollies ate Day Lilies' leaves Biddies fed 'pon tiny grasshoppers for summer was there to please The Bee Balm and Fever Few had not been touched by summer's butterfles; Rebecca had yet to open her blooms; Daisies soon to begin. Spring blossoms now nearly gone, summer the garden wrecker The rooster, his hens and biddies loved the party As among the flowers they pranced and ate smartly Inspired by Cyndi MacMillan's contest not an entry...

LOL, had a chuckle picturing the chicken banquet. Not sure what Cyndi's contest is about, but I think this would be a great entry

Dear Sara, This is so delightful. I admire the way you personify not only the pesky insects, but the flowers too. Spring always bursts forth with beautiful colors, but the predators arrive by summer. (Just saw a grasshopper on my Caladiums and some other critter on a hibiscus that isn't doing well.) Also enjoyed the way the rooster led the other partygoers into the garden. If you did enter this, it would be hard to beat! Love, Carolyn
