Image result for lady bug

* I was trying, in vain, to come up with an idea for this contest, when divine intervention landed this lovely on my arm ... coicidence?? There is no such thing in this Universe! * :-)

___________________________________________________

Oh, what luck, this lovely day, How you chanced to fly my way! Little creature, on my arm, I don't mean you any harm ... You're too lovely in your skirt, For anyone to care to hurt. Really not a bug at all ... More a lady, dressed for ball - Orange, with black polka dots, Has your suitors seeing spots ... Little wings like sleeves, divine, Spread to catch a lover, fine! Fluttering about, in sport ... Like a princess holding court. Stunning with your coat, sublime, All the lads who beg your time. Off you go, now, tiny sweet ... Lots of MAN-bugs now ... to meet!

I LOVE yours, Greg. Try it with Brian. Ya never know. Sometimes he goes for whimsy, and this is quite delightful.

This poem is so sweet Greg. The lady bug is honored by those who grow roses because they eat the aphids which destroy the plants, part of the reason ladybugs are so favored! Loved your entry my friend! : )

Thank you so much, Connie! I love these little creatures - one of nature's garden helpers ... I haven't had a garden for years, but did for a large part of my life, (veggies and flowers). I miss the fresh veggies. Blessings! :-) <3
