Nature
Silver, silken thread
woven delicately there
where the spider waits
Striped yellow and black
Sips nectar and spreads pollen
Bumblebees at work
Marching in a row
Following the scent trail laid
Working for their queen.
Green, wiggly, crawly,
Hunching its way up a tree
See the inchworm go
Snow-in-Summer blooms
A blanket of white on green
Flowers so pretty grow
Bloodsuckers
Small vampire-like
Mosquitoes
Green and blue
Mosquito fighters
Dragonflies
A leaf on a twig
Hiding in plain sight, hungry
Praying Mantis waits
Newly emerged, wet
Slowly pumping unfurled wings
Glorious color
Searching antennae, sensing
Time to fly is nigh -- rebirth
Hairy vine
Tripod leaves, white fruit
Poison Ivy
