Humming Bird Moths At Moon Rise

Luna flower spread open scented blossom
In response to the full moon's soft yellow glow
So much designed like a Sand Dollar
Amazing the resemblence even with first sight

Humming Bird Moths drawn to the glowing white
The irresistable beauty and appealing scent
Ten were buzzing, humming drinking nectar
From white beauty by only moonlight

Ants were working even at night 
Drawn to the goodness that will leave at dawn
Preparing a storehouse of goodness for winter
So that the species can survive to rule summer picnics

That scented sticky nectar must be delicious
Tasting like a very rich clover honey
So sweet that just a tiny amount sweetens
So many slices of simple bread

Amazing the blessings to enjoy from simplicity
The simplest things in life sometimes give goodness
That wealth can't provide
Sometimes wealth has gardens but not enjoyed

I love how you took something simple yet beautiful and created all the little world around it. A delight, Sara. OH, and the child of my poem was kinda based on me, the great jello lover. Today healthy as a horse. Pickiness is not gonna hurt anyone and don't I know it! Luv, andrea ps. I hate jello these days

I've never seen this flower, but your words create such a lovely picture of it, Sara. The Luna flower must be quite a beauty seen beneath the moonlight. Love, Carolyn
