Pure wings of
Joy

The same cloth

his last wish for her to not postpone her wedding day
wedding two days after funeral
delicate white moth arrived
led daughter down the aisle

It's Like I'M a Moth

It's like I'm a moth
I might be lost
I keep moving in circles
And it's getting too hot
I crash into windows
I go where the wind blows
I might be lost
It's like I'm a moth

Cloth Eaten By Moth

Cloth Eaten By Moth

He had been known as a man of the cloth,
And was wet from liquid contained in broth;
After filled,
He had spilled;
Hole was eagerly eaten in cloth by a moth.

Premium Member Luna Moth

delight wafted in the forest
zipping in and out of shadows
faerie like and pretty

moon smiled with appreciation
enjoying the delicate light and lively moth
feeling honored she shared his name

                                morning reflection
                                joining her hands in prayer

The Moth

Premium Member Like a Moth

LIKE A MOTH


Like a moth 
Was I drawn to your 
Passion’s flame,
Once my wings burnt,
Unable was I to fly away 
Thus 
A happy prisoner of your
Love
Since then remain!

Moth and Bird

A fat white moth flies ambitiously up to a high branch
Where a slim black bird awaits mindlessly for lunch 
The bird looks lazy but gets a lunch of  fat moth
And the moth works tough  dies of  making efforts
Form: Verse

Moth To Flame

wipe away,
your happy tears,
the fire burned,
through the years,
flesh will rot,
from your bone,
you are truly,
all alone,
water rises,
slowly you'll drown,
in the end,
the world will,
all fall down.

The Suicidal Moth

Once there was a moth that flew up to Doctor John
He said I'm depressed, I'm a suicidal one"
 Doc John said, "I'm no shrink," 
"Why stop here do you think?"
He said, "Well, I had to, because the light was on!"

Premium Member Sphygmo

Sphery moon o'er northern bog;
sphagnum working overtime.
Sphinx Moth moves within a grand
sphere of influence,
spherule eyes gazing. Keeps his
sphygmic pulse on time -- poised with
sphenic wings arched overhead.

A Prism of Color-Cq

quivering wings
on windless day
in flowers sway
hummingbird moth

drops of nectar
glisten in sun
rainbow colors
unfold the dawn
