the Snail
Life’s not easy
for the snail,
hauls his home with
great travail.
Bothered by an
itchy tail —
tries to scratch,
to no avail!
the Caterpillar
Dapper is the
caterpillar,
fancy zoot suit
lady killer,
stealthy creepy
crawly thriller —
metamorphing
cocoon filler …
the Mantis
Poor old mantis
got the blues,
lost his fav‘rite
dancing shoes —
looking left and
right for clues,
praying for some
happy news.
the Fireflies
Pirouetting
fireflies
set aflame the
evening skies,
thousand fiery
twinkling eyes —
twilight’s tireless
glowing spies.
