The Ladybug And Her Dandy Lion provides an example of something from the present, the picture of the ladybug on a dandelion, connecting with something from the past, the picture of the bee on a sunflower.
The connection was not intentional, but popped into my mind all on its own, as did its story.
Just another reason I love writing.
The Ladybug And Her Dandy Lion
4.16.2017 (Easter Sunday)
A ladybug
On a dandelion
Spied a bee
On a sunflower
In the height of its buzz
Giving all that it’s got
To be something it’s not
Tried to roar like a lion
But all he could muster
Was a buzz
The ladybug
Moved to a closer dandelion
Said to the bee
On the sunflower
Still lion tryin’
“It’s not in your power,
so why all this fuss
tryin’ to roar like a lion
when a bee can only buzz?”
The bee
In reply
To the inquiry of intention
Said his attempt at roaring worked
It got the ladybug’s attention
He’d tried buzzing before
Didn’t get him second mention
To the dandelion’s roar
So the bee changed up his game
He began his mission tryin’
To be why the ladybug came
Roared his loudest dandy lion
The bee chalked up a win
For she left her dandelion
The ladybug had noticed him
Her newfound dandy lion
"When I was just a buzz,
you would never listen.
I was only background noise
while you kept dandelion kissing.
So I altered my voice
to one that’s not worth missing,
because a dandy lion roar
makes me the one worth kissing,"
Swooned
The ladybug
Left her dandelion
Joined her dandy lion
Still on the sunflower
Shining
Now the ladybug and her dandy lion
The ladybug and her dandy lion
And when the sun went down
The night was abuzz
About the ladybug roaring
With her new dandy lion love
