Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Emperor Dragonfly's Best Ball Ever

Emperor dragonfly had a ball
Stag beetle came big and tall
Water springtail brought housefly date
Common cockroach came without a mate

Eyed hawkmoth arrived in style
Caught ladybug’s winsome smile
Praying mantis brought sense of doom 
Other mantises quickly left the room

Green lacewing came with water spring tail
Silverfish brought rest of supper from jail
Cicadas arrived with bottles of ale
Unusual feather bug came smelling quite stale

Bumblebee brought fresh honey and wax
Colorado potato beetle was holding his flax
Black ants brought chips from master’s house
Only one empty handed was elderly book louse

Morpho butterflies arrived dressed to dance
You could hear the music half way to France
Emperor Dragonfly’s shindig was a huge success
Firefly made magic with his sexy light up mistress

Everyone had a fine time except Praying Mantis who left mad.
Best Shindig ball the host, Emperor Dragonfly had ever had!

Gershon Wolf June 18, 2019 at 5:53 PM I love when you write these....Draw pictures and make a children's book. 'Faerie Land' or something like that. You'll be rich (and content!). :) gw

Sand Blown June 18, 2019 at 3:45 PM nicely written...dragon flies have been about my favorite little beasties since childhood...did you know there is an underlying mathematical fractal formula geometric shape (with respect to 'reality') that is the form of a dragon fly...just as a cube is squares and a ball is circles...math is a hobby for me
