Golden Creatures
How biodiverse is Muskoka, that
in public gardens, I discovered two
new insects: male and female ladybirds,
yet shining gold as long Pharaonic lines,
being fruitful: the only of their kind
created for each other knew no duty
but multiply together on the Earth.
But I, I did not write a poem for them,
the story of their love would not embellish.
For suitors, every day, would come for me
who thought themselves of golden blood, and I
made only to adorn and fill their houses.
And so, that precious tale of creatures gold,
although their own, went humanly untold.
Thank you for reading.
