Fly Away Ladybird - Free Verse Contest

How about some free verse
That’s what Kim is asking for
Whatever my heart desires
What more could I ask, I know

Love maybe, so over subscribed
Nature is the same, hmm
How about the red ladybirds
In my garden they have  a home

Did you know that from 2 spots 
To 22 are on this little bug
Love to see them when in flight
When sent home with a shake

In my eyes she is a friend
Welcome whenever she likes
Making sure a silver birch
In the garden is kept just as she wants.

“Fly away ladybird
Fly away home.
Your house is on fire 
 your children are none”

Nicely done and congrats on your win. Love the little ladybugs and when I rake the leaves I am always trying to leave them in the grass. One bug that I like and I think is pretty.--if you can call a bug pretty LOL--or I should say colorfully decorated. love phyl
