Shiny like a polished coin
He picked it,
Purchased
And pocketed —
.
The Ladybug.
.
The Entomologist is reaching high ends
Once again,
Wanting more than a simple friendship,
His chicks are still hungry —
.
As they secretly yen being the beetle.
.
The Passerine tendencies
Are Voiced so openly,
Toward the Coccinellidae
Three different personalities attacking one —
.
Innocent and lovely Ladybug.
.
A birthday,
The special occasion,
The trapped pin wrapped tightly
Against blue colors —
.
A clothing accessory.
.
She is unwrapped
A girl observes the poor thing,
But it's too late,
The Lady broach is now a token —
.
The Pin Man's gifted trophy.
.
The girl puts it away,
Hides it in a private place
Where the bug will not be discovered,
The Hirundinidae's following feet —
.
His child-like dependency.
.
The adult-sized-Crows are everywhere,
Pecking split-open Squirrels
Marking insecurity,
The green leaves —
.
Are no longer the safe-keeping.
.
The owl stares
Not voicing its thoughts,
As it can't talk.
It's knowledge and mystery —
.
Go unnoticed as the man's feelings overflow its white pages.
.
The young girl never opens the package,
The Ladybug sees its chance
Spreads strong and delicate wings,
And flies away —
.
A pin no longer, but free.
