Humming Bird Moths At Moon Rise

Free Verse

Luna flower spread open scented blossom

In response to the full moon's soft yellow glow

So much designed like a sand dollar

Amazing the resemblance even with first sight

 

Huming Bird Moths drawn to the glowing white

The irresistible beauty and appealing scent

Ten were buzzing, humming drinking nectar

From white beauty by only moonlight

 

Ants were working even at night

Drawn to the goodness that will leave at dawn

Preparing a storehouse of goodness for winter

So that the species can survive to rule summer picnics

 

That scented sticky nectar must be delicious

Tasting like a very rich clover honey

So sweet that just a tiny amount sweetens

So many slices of simple bread

 

Amazing the blessings to enjoy from simplicity

The simplest things in life sometimes give goodness

That wealth can't provide

Sometimes wealth comes from a simple flower's surprise

It is wondrous to glimpse the life alive at night.. thriving in the darkness. You describe this so well, and let it fill the senses!

I have read several of your flower poems and find them to be delightful. I often find inspiration in seasonal blooms myself, so I can really appreciate where you're coming from.
