LADYBUG

Denise Barbarita


red
with tiny black speckles
smells like honeysuckle
and i like it
wafting in my direction
through the garden fence
into my open window

red
with tiny black speckles
crawling
up my curtain
won't she be disappointed
or is it the view she's after
don't know for certain

red
with tiny weenie black speckles
crawls around the lines in my hand
moving up the arm
a new feat in ladybug exploration

red
with itty bitty black speckles
me in blue
wearing a little piece of you
something borrowed
something new
named the ladybug roxanne

and just what do ladybugs turn into?
