Ladybug Season

Spiraling and 
Vanishing 
Crawling on my shoelace 
Then gone 
I wear a red and black 
Crown
In this summer 
As plentiful as 
Rain drops in a 
Thunderstorm 
They take 
Flight 
Tickling my skin 
Landing on my collarbone 
I am wreathed in them 
Covered in more dots 
Than they are 
One perches on my finger 
Then in the blink
Of my eye 
Is gone and 
I run 
Into the tall 
Grasses 
And spinning 
I revel in 
Nature's rubies 
As they dance and 
Sparkle around me. 
They form a heavy 
Cloud and disperse 
And I am left with 
One single
Solitary 
Ladybug 
Flying away 
In the summer 
Air.

OH, what a visual delight this poem conjures up....vivid imagery - and on this sub-zero day a welcome reminder that spring will follow.....and so will the ladybugs.

Thanks John, I was at my friend's cabin, walking through a field, when suddenly all these ladybugs flew up out of nowhere. It was such a poetic moment I had to write a poem about it.

Thank you so much! I am headed off to vacation in California. Hopefully I will get more inspiration there!
