keep smiling ..
scientists say in the future we’ll
all be eating insects, whilst
at the same time insect numbers are declining

Viceroy butterfly (daVid)
For my pretence the grandiose
my wings to spread
in hues to match the undergrowth
in autumn shades
For the less well informed
mistaken for an admiral
a lepidoptera shrunk or just deformed
summers short days do fly
When in the earth as chrysalis curled
just like a teenager, lied in bed
escape the cold and winters snows
awaiting spring, transformed in that advent
The junk food of a cow pat
my elegance survived intact
a willow leaf where raindrops sat
my perch; your glance not pass me by
...
my wings to spread
in hues to match the undergrowth
in autumn shades
For the less well informed
mistaken for an admiral
a lepidoptera shrunk or just deformed

When in the earth as chrysalis curled

escape the cold and winters snows

i wish i knew how to tell you what’s wrong with me..
your eyes are windows, i can see the questions inside
and they like to stay there, don’t they?
having said that, i am misunderstood
people circle my waking hours like moths to a street lamp
they are attracted
am i selfish for arousing it?
trying to catch me is all the fun
some call it playing “hard to get”
but i just love a good game
and boredom is my enemy.
i scare myself with this brain of mine
trapped in a doll-like body, so
unassuming
so i...

Flying high on powdered wings
Sing me songs of broken things
Broken bones and broken hearts
I pray we never fall apart
A trap, a cage, a prison cell
Drag me through the gates of hell
But nothing could hold me back for long
I fell in love with your broken songs
Sing me songs of broken things
Broken bones and broken hearts
I pray we never fall apart
A trap, a cage, a prison cell
Drag me through the gates of hell
But nothing could hold me back for long
I fell in love with your broken songs

butterfly wings
a lyric mirror 48©
not for antartica:
lithe, wind-cleaving creature
noislessly kite-dancing.
ovum into larva,
butterfly from pupa,
every rose romancing.
delicate by nature,
wings of pure gossamer.
