Moth

MOTH

silly little things,
with nighttime wings,
corrupting 
wool clothes.
audacity to land
on my screen door.
but this poet
finds one,
passed out
on the floor.
wants to examine
its wings.
where she would
have thrown, this
miniscule plane out,
without
a second thought.
pressing
it into pages,
two flighty wings.
antennas that feel,
a great deal, of
silly little things.

Wow, a great read! Imagery is fantastic here and it flows very well. Yep, moths will eat everything that they can.

Oh this is so cool too . You are showing such cleverness describing this silly insect! They are very annoying creatures indeed and I love how you called it a miniscule plane!!

Nicely said. To set the record straight (or biologically) however, moths do not eat wool, their pupae do. Thanks for enjoying my eclipse poem. / M
