Hummingbird
Swing
Dancing
Within the
Small dark corners
Around the backyard
Chasse to glean silken floss
Rock-step to a mound of moss
Choreography
Of Nest building
Inside soon
Fledglings
Swing

Dots dashes spots splashes
Patterns of Morse code for the bees
Moths and flies fly from skies
Descending from up in the trees
Finding sweet nectar treat
At the tail end of winter freeze
Early blooms fragrant fumes
Wake insects from their winter zzzz

Eastern Black Swallowtail Caterpillar
Papilio polyxenes asterius
_____________________________________
On slender stalk
Prolegs prop the pudgy
Dill demolisher
Fennel finisher
Carrot cruncher
Celery savorer
These fleshy stubs stick to stems
Enabling efficient eating and
Methodical mandible munching
In a day’s duration
Leaving nothing but a stark stripped stem
Upon which perches a plump pre-pupa.
