You came for dinner
but didn’t stay
that’s good I guess
many people might think
you’re too creepy
or ugly
or gross
or just plain strange
but I love how
delicate
you are
thanks for your visit
I understood
that you couldn’t stay
did you find us
big and
spongy and
weird without wings?
This is terrific, a perfect analogy for how all of us big, spongy, wingless beings should treat each other…
Thank you, Brian. 🙂
This guy stopped by just as M and I were sitting down to an al fresco dinner in DR. He was so big and so capable of generating a lot of “eek!” factor, but it was clear that he was very benign. His wings were so lovely and delicate though, and I began thinking about all the write-offs we do because of differences …
ewwwww
He was certainly capable of causing that reaction.
Interesting…was this in DR?
Yes, it was. This picture isn’t very good and doesn’t show it at all, but his wings were stunning. They were transparent and sort of sparkly in the candlelight.
Probably good this dinner guest left before he scared your other guests.
Hahaha. 🙂 It was just my M and me having dinner outside in Dominican Republic, and he only stayed a few seconds.There are many and varied winged creatures there. 🙂
That’s good – Just you and mom there. I know that bug would not have bothered either of you. His visit would not bother my daughter and I. Glad you got a laugh out of my first comment.
M is my husband. 🙂 The bug was very polite – stopped by for a quick visit and then had to fly. 😉
Sorry – I thought M stood for Mom.
Wonderful observation and perception.
Thank you very much. 🙂
If it wasn’t for the wings, this one could be titled “Kenny comes to dinner”
Hahaha. 🙂
The wings were really beautiful- transparent and sparkly. The photo doesn’t show that because we were in low light and I wasn’t quick enough with the camera.
It looks graceful. Better that it left, though.
Very graceful. And he definitely might have caused some issues for those who don’t care much for winged dinner companions. 🙂
Very cleaver a poem for a dinner guest. Love this. You set a nice table by the way. Have a blessed day. Love 💕 Joni
Thank you very much. 🙂
I didn’t set this table; we were having dinner at an outside restaurant. It was really lovely.
Interesting…
Yes, he was. 🙂
I do prefer dinner guests who don’t outstay their welcome. 🙂 You did a great job with the poem, Lynette. Made me smile.
Thank you for your lovely comment – much appreciated. 🙂
Yes, he was very timely in his departure, long before there could be any complaints. 🙂
I like it, reminds me of my own writing (I´m vain), simple it seems complex it is to write about to be a joyful read. Very creative. I actually wrote a poem about a bee that I took a picture of it on top of the keyboard of my computer. Nice meeting you, nice blog you have here the photos and great writing.
Thank you very much for your comments. 🙂 Insects don’t bother me much (obviously). They are part of our landscape too.
Yes they are part of our landscape, but I actually lived in a house in the middle of the woods and is not very comfy the mosquitos, bees that are on the attack and you on a constant state of alert…..not cool, they are devious.
The biting ones can definitely be very annoying.
Yikes! Glad he wasn’t on the menu! 🙂
