Bugs

Droning, bees buzzing around
Heard Bingo sneeze, sound profound
His snot like honey, wry
Sparked laughter to the sky
The trees he sought higher ground.
There’s a fly, Bob, quite renowned
In small town, his feats astound
Sore and fly, jobs well done
Lungs you say, I have none
Walks up and down, skills unbound.
Amidst the flowers, Zinna’s crown
Soars for hours, her grace renown
Tasting sweet, it’s complete
She never misses a beat
Her wings, strength, never go down.
Stick, a stick bug, no rebounds
Slower in any backgrounds
She can hide in the wild
She can hide from a child
A life of stillness, it sounds.
