Annoyingly Awesome Moths

Moths are amazing creatures They have intriguing features They fly out and into the light They do so with all their might Moths are marvelous creatures They don’t need any kind of teachers They have freewill and so do I Sometimes, I do wish I could fly The moth is a beautiful bug…a rather bothersome bug It likes to play and swirl around, but not beneath the rug It likes to eat clothes up and fly with the other moth insects They're like dim lights, trying to become bright – what’s next? Moths are annoyingly awesome - despite being a pest, send them an O and an X Because they are extraordinarily cool, not according to most everyone else's context My father used to pull their wings as a young child But, when I look at a moth, I am not wild, but mild.

Your compassionate and empathetic nature shines in this beautiful poem, J.W.. I think this piece says more about you and your loving heart and spirit than it does about the moths. Lovely introspection; 'Sometimes, I do wish I could fly'.. Your poem's tender expression touches my heart.. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

The contrast between you and dad. You wonder at how someone could hurt this innocent creature. Enjoyed, dear Poet!

I know right? I wonder that too...my dad is a good dad though - he pulled off their wings as a child, but not anymore. :)
