The male Hine’s Emerald patrols his cattail fen
low through sedge and seepage
his compound eyes pluck gnats from the air
two yellow bars flash along his thorax
hindwings catch the morning
Chimanimani Mountain mist beads over quartz
the female Rock Threadtail
six black feet braced on the edge
her wing tilted toward the sun
eyes—black
He misses the gnat
darts, veers, halts midair, pivots
his ommatidia fixed on her raised wing
smitten, his heading shifts
the female Rock Threadtail rests above her stream
=======
Within the crowded dark,
She dreams of a golden bloom.
Weaves a swift, geometric loop,
Then traces right, a graceful swoop,
To banish gloom. from the room.
And share a silent spark.
tiny worm beneath
the soil tunneling spirals
mix dampening soil
~
all accountable
dirt close to being mud worms
ready for fish yah!

insecticides sprayed
crushed, smashed, thrashed, hard boot-heel-stamped ~
still they resurrect
birds and bees adore
the beauty of their wings
to fly graciously
tree of cicadas
munching happily on leaves
perfect harmony
swallow skims the lake
fish floats below its surface ~
eyeing the same flies
Bright fireflies glow,
Filling all the midnight sky,
Light my lonely hut.
oh, ladybug, beloved insect
gentle, colorful beetles
with sweet red-and-black spots
delightful winged wonders
omens of good things to come
with spiritual messages if you believe
wish fulfillment
protection
renewal and transformation
adaptability
love
and positive things
and if you don't believe
ladybugs will eradicate your garden pests
blue jay lands, perches,
tilt, rotate its head, scans round,
foraging; flies off.
hops upon wet grass,
finds wriggling earthworm, it pulls~
alert behavior
The bumble bee
Is a humble bee,
And rarely does she sting
Somberly she flies
Until somebody tries,
To break her little wing
She will turn on you
If you unwisely do,
Such an unnecessary thing
Leave her upon her rose
Rather than step on her toes,
She wants to enjoy the spring
In need of a humbling quiet
More than a bumbling riot,
A hand too close can bring.
Piously sitting
In saintly genuflection,
Faithfully waiting:
Sage, long legs, prayer-like bent:
Waiting for prey to pass by:-
bees and insects swirl
butterflies spread magic
seasoned maintenance
warmth of springtime sun
ponies shed winter clothing ~
giddy gadflies grin
(May Full Moon – Oglala)
Listen for the hush where blessings gather.
Lift the quiet with their red and black polka dots.
Leap over twigs as if they’re mountains.
Leave faint anointings on the leaves they touch.
Loom as small messengers from softer realms.
Lend quiet blessings to wandering breezes.
Lead the day towards gentle good fortune.
