It Seems To Be Snowing

It seems to be snowing but it’s aphids. They look like cotton or dandelion fluff. You wouldn’t want them on your lashes. They cling to grass, screens & other stuff. You wouldn’t think aphids are alive, ‘til you take a closer look - they unhook and fly away, like the great hymn. Still, I first saw them at Dad’s. They’re off the hook. On plants, ladybugs enjoy them as a snack. Oh no! Pesticide is sometimes needed when aphids gather in great numbers and unpack. To memorialize them, I scribble with a poet’s pen. 10/14/2022
