Good lord.
Good gracious.
Good heavens! There’s a ladybug
infestation
in progress! That’s fine. Better than
the dream I had
last night.

A hundred horrific insects
setting up camp
on my right foot. I couldn’t move a muscle,
couldn’t shake ‘em off.
I had to bear
witness to invasion,
salute the generals of exoskeletal colonialism.
I thought-

is this some metaphor for being smitten?
Maybe I was bitten
by a

love bug?
That’s fucked.

A little polka-dotted bubble lands on my mug and
for once
I’m not concerned about shooing her
off.

I hear these things are lucky,
if you believe in that sort of stuff.

I loved the happy mood of this one, being overwhelmed by what is thought to be joyful, friendly insects. Even though they feed on other insects - these devilish Bugs of Prey, in their blood-red chitin armor...but well, the little flower friend in me wouldn't call that a sin...still: Sinners make the best Saints.

Thanks for sharing :)

I've heard of the Asian ladybugs with different spots. No rhyme or reason to the line breaks. did it just because I felt like those were good pauses:-)

Nice, no specific comments although I am curious if there was a reason for your line breaks.

Incidently, one year there was an outbreak of Asian ladybugs, which have a different number of spots in our region. There were so many they even tainted some of the local wines.

enjoyed it

especially the question floating in the middle

Very imaginative. If you deleted “That’s fucked.” It would be better, more more whimsical because the preceding lines go well with the concluding lines without the interruption.
