Bugged

*

A Bug

came and sat

on my kitchen bench

he was less than

1cm long

and when I looked closely

he had a pretty turquoise face

with a sort of a smile

 

 lacy wings

with sepia edging

 

three legs

on each side

in tact

 

the front two legs

on each side

had three parts,

and the rear leg

a different structure

to the front two -

it was

hairy

 

two circles

like diamonds

on his wing tips

 

 he sat right on my camera lens

so I saw his segmented abdomen

 beneath

what beautiful eyes you have

Mr Bug

Thank you

for flying by

and stopping

in my kitchen
