Grasshopper

Camouflaged green and brown
hidden by the background
springs from bushy grassy ground
on my rose pot sits down
chewing sideways not up and down
snapping leaves from nettle mound
eats its meal in my sunlight
jumping up flings out of sight
with its eyes brown compound 
scratching a thrilling violin sound
to the rose waves bye bye
for only a moment stopped by
