Ladybug


It's arid.
      dry
      a cuckoo's eye
      a Ladybug
      Red and black
      glossy colored back
      Orca's white spots strange
      why converging evolutions
      Ur's Occam's Razor solutions
      this derangement is a gift
      a mirrored-creatures monolith
      cetaceans fierce, Wolves of the South
      patterned here, near Lady's mouth
      a warning tattooed: Ur-natural things
      as armor on the Ladybug's wings
      her head and thorax be refined, deadly
      a predator who shouts "Be wary!"

      like distant siblings of sea-wolves
      their oceans are your living rooms
      they prowl and hunt in your back yard
      consuming rending part from part
      o carnivore o predator!
      o vicious little tank
      what irony that you, our pal
      so dire and dour and grim
      evoke such charming pleasant thoughts
      appearing as tiny gems
      
        The Ladybug, the Scarlet Warrior
        Crimson in her robe:
        Aphid husks in her wake lie
        About this whirling globe
