The Song of the Lonely Praying Mantis

~
Way out there in the meadow
where the wildflowers sing
Sat a lonely praying mantis,
such a funny looking thing

From within the petal'd choir
came a perfect summer song
So, he climbed upon a bluebell
and began to sing along

His voice, a lovely harmony,
now echoed on the breeze
To drift above the columbine, 
meander through the trees

The sound so mesmerizing,
whisper soft along

Praying Mantis is Associated with Prayer and Luck

Praying mantis is associated with prayer
Also, good fortune, blessings, angels in the air
Derived from Greek word meaning prophet or type
A spiritual guest who sprinkles plenty of hype
They bring good luck to an ordinary garden you see.
There goes one now, blessing Old Mrs. McVee.

praying mantis eats her prey alive

A dead insect
Yuck!
The female praying mantis said.
Envisioning her tasty date alive when she bites off his head
He gives her a sweet smile
Unaware that to her
He is but a morsel best enjoyed
After they are wed.

Praying Mantis

Blurry eye balls - up to it close.
Right there
clinging
on the screen door swinging.

Mantis, a big bug come to mind-prey,
or are you praying to come inside?

A plus size Insectivore
at my door
basking in its own eerie light.

A deadly beautiful grin
wants to come in.

We are not alone
green aliens abound,
have been around
clinging to this spinning Earth
for all their worth.

Mantis-like,

butterflies

garden day lilies
perch for yellow butterflies
hungry mantis meal

Song of The Praying Mantis No 8: ABBA

Naught lowlife, but pro-life; pin-up; wildlife,
like the Mantis, or the praying Mantis,
cockroaches and termites, close relatives,
there are stick ones or grasshoppers, half-life.
A year's life, they are ambush predators,
female practices sex cannibalism.
Supernatural power behold-ism
Greece, Assyria, Egypt, past overs.
Mantis are the most common insect pets,
twenty-four hundred species, tropical,
temperate too, visions are stereo,
triangular heads with long-winged-like jets.
They take

Warrior M a Praying Mantis

Both armies scatter when they see warrior M appear
A fierce female mantis who always inspires great fear
Even her boy cousins no longer make fun or jeer
She has already made six powerful husbands disappear

Warrior M smiles as the armies disperse up and down the hill
Turning tail and running as if she is the ultimate scary Jill
Her

Beware of the Pink Praying Mantis

Prissy pink praying mantis pretends no preference
Delightful dapper Dan, a suitor, gives her deference.
They dance a tantalizing tango with her cousin Ted.
Before the dance is finished, Dan has lost his sweet head.

Queen Madame Praying Mantis

Queen madame praying mantis dressed beautifully
after she eats her mates' heads off dutifully.
some have claimed that she acts snootily.
But I really like my queen who gasses out quite tootily.

Pink Praying Mantis

Have you met pink praying mantis faerie yet asked my house guest.
He was on my last nerve as apes are often, kind of a tolerated pest.
I was surprised, for I had not even heard of such an unknown creature.
She is distorted, elongated, and she has more than one unusual feature.
We crept on our knees through

A Praying Mantis Alien

I think it’s a praying mantis alien.
How would you know?
It is guess; I am following my thinking brain.
Because it looks like a praying mantis?
Maybe.
What does it look like to you?
I do not have a better idea than that actually.
How do we communicate with it?
Do you speak bug?
Not that I know.
Me neither.
Let’s just do the best

Biological Byte

A glance is enough - She is hot stuff

It is love of a fashion - This steamy passion

She bites off his head - So he is dead

A mantis is born - The next dawn

Praying Mantis

Something you had never heard…
something you had always known

Something new yet something old… 
something borrowed—something owned

I Saw a Praying Mantis

I saw a praying mantis as I went about my day
The brightest green, the coolest form
and I just had to say

“Please tell me of your prayer” He answered in his mantis style
“I pray my friends are happy
and they wear the nicest smile”

“I pray for those now hurting, filled with sadness in their heart
I pray for
