This
is a wonderful poem that my cyber-friend, KELLY,
wrote
for an assignment at school!
She also made the adorable
ceramic Ladybug (above) for me!
I was so impressed with her
efforts, I just had to share them with everyone!
~ LADYBUG
~
The Ladybug ~
what an
enchanting, dainty insect!
Its black spots are like little grains
of pepper,
all sprinkled on
their
backs!
Oh, and what a
vibrant,
scarlet
color that says
"Here I Am!"
Their brilliant
color
makes them stand out,
despite their
petite
size.
A Ladybug is a
ruby,
so delicate
and elegant.
One, two, three,
four,
five, six.
Six little legs
along
the sides of the pudgy,
oval-shaped body.
Their legs, like
eyelashes,
move back
and forth,
rapidly carrying
them to their
unknown
destinations.
Ladybugs are a
symbol
of luckiness,
waiting to
generously
unleash
and share with
you
their good fortune!
Magically, they
unfold
their wings and
fly
away, disappearing in the
distance as they
soar
lightly
through the air!

Doesn't
that paint an excellent picture of a Ladybug?
(I
especially love the part about
their
little legs being "like eyelashes")!!!
