Short Ladybird Poems

A dimple is like a
Ladybird on a lilac,
A pastel jasmine....

Flutter the ladybird's wings
Spring beckons, raindrops...

The ladybird



                  A scarlet coated dome
           Black dots glossy scattered few
                   Beetle live on leaf!

Soup and greens,beer and tea
buttlerfly young just love me,
aphid trap and liquid feed
ladybird heaven,yes indeed!
I love phosphate & nitrate soil
such versatility reduces toil,
my leaves quicken the compost
all this for free,at no cost!

Okay,okay,yes I sting...

The wife of LBJ, known to all as 'Ladybird'
    was famous for the following words
      'Plant a tree, a shrub, or a bush'

  She never dreamed they'd lead to
    two more Texans in the White House
  First the father, George Herbert Walker
    Then the son, smart-alecky George W. Bush!...

IHO We Ladybugs Who Started It
(Gender-Neutral)

My dearest ladybird,
with your orangey shield,
protecting your body when stirred,
as the creatures who languish after you,
their piquant beckons skill to wield.
Becalm, I'm not afeared ...
misterbird flew revealed.

Hey ladybird dancing through my bamboo tree
           Come out and play with me
                     Feel the comfort of my hand 
                            Parade your beauty freely and understand
                                    As one creation to another joined by love
                                             No! Dont go
                                                    Oh why did I bother?...

on brink of summer
an eager Painted Lady
first to the party

drifting pollen swathes
golden contours round wood’s edge 
fox cubs exploring 

festooned with blossom 
blackbird trills in paradise 
serenades his world 

ladybird in rain 
slides down slippery palm frond
tiny splash in pool

nature varied in its forms
a wonderful world adorns

(spring, summer and autumn)

from under the earth's hard crust
sprung a host of daffodils~
golden tint thrills eyes 

( 7, 7, 5)

ladybird in polka frock
hid under the leaf~
shaded from summer's hot beams

 (7, 5, 7)

dry leaves flew about
hastening to their cold grave~
some moan under crushing boots 

(5, 7, 7)

Beseech the wooden hip and eye
To paddle off and caper.
Beseech the Maxfold cat and stye
Forlorn with hairy Gator.

Bring not thy chesticle to bear,
Thy open arms to boot.
Beseeching here and everywhere
To hear old Amos flute.

'You can but not cumcumber me!'
He gummed in chitter-chatter,
And passing water from his knee
Knew something was the matter.

Alas! Alak! A Ladybird-
A lullaby in butter.
Beseech in me the rare absurd,
Not sane, not yet a nutter....

This season spoils with orchestral splendor 
A cloud beams in irrepresible render
Spreading opulently past the stars
And raindrops fall from the sky jars

A crying ladybird groans tearfully 
Quailing with blackened fury
And hoping determinedly in delightful twists
As winter-end cavorts playfully in chilly mists

At the point, when the cool is gone, evermore
And skies do not dim anymore
Awaken me with the cries of feathered friends
When the warm twist blows toward me ascends...
