Buzzing For It's Life

It ducks and dives
bouncing through the air
buzzing for it's life
free without care;
now disappeared a silence,
can't see it anywhere
a mass of confusion
It could be over there?

As elusive as it is scheming,
the lord of all flies,
Who leaves me screaming,
"Why are you so wise?!"
Incognito, always in disguise
It' colour deceitful a deep blue mottle
A skydiver, a rocket, that's Mr. Bluebottle.

I am seeing a blue fly. I have never heard of a bluebottle, but I am looking it up now. I like the quickness and subtle aliteration in this poem, Jim.
