Lovely Little Lady Bug

by adewpearl


Oh, lovely little ladybug,
in listless crawl across a leaf,
you could take wing to expedite
your journey in this life so brief.

And yet you linger where you've lit
though you have wings that flight permit.
We folks who bid you fly away
need learn to savor life's bouquet.

Who has not heard and recited the nursery rhyme where we chasten the lady bug to fly away home for her house is on fire, her children all gone? This is just my little reflection on why she is in no hurry while we are so anxious for her to get a move on.
I broke with the rhyme scheme of the rispetto in the first and third lines of the first verse, so, as always, call the darned poem whatever you wish. LOL
