Last Hurrah

Lots of little moths are flitting
Near the bushes and the trees,
Such a frenzied sort of flutter,
They might stir a little breeze.

Some are solo, but more likely,
Most are traveling in groups,
Do-si-do-ing through the flora,
Doing crazy loop-di-loops.
 
In some spots, they’re like confetti
Which the wind has set a’whirl.
Guess their instincts have informed them
They’ve just time for one more twirl.

This is brilliant, and such a fun tempo and theme. I really enjoyed reading this one, Ilene. Poor little moths, enjoying life while they can. Perhaps I should take a lesson, lol. This gets a 7 from me. -G
