Life is a symphony filled with many movements. Each movement flows with precision throughout the cycle of joy, drama, fear, and then resolution. The ability to write the symphony of life is unique to each person. Enjoy your symphony and share it with others.

The Pesky Blue Bug

blue bug 2 petrified forest april 14

Blue bug

pretty as can be

buzzing around the grill

annoying to me


He is a pest

trying to taste my food

trying to swat him

food smells so good


I miss him

as he flies away

coming back again

trying to stay


The grill is hot

the pest finds a spot

difficult to reach

he lands on my pot


I swat him again

he flies away

the food almost ready

he is determined to stay


One final time

dancing as I swat

he dives for the food

a prize that he got


He flies away

taking his prize

the bug won the day

there is smoke in my eyes
