Stars And Beetles

by

Do ladybirds hear crickets?
Catch many another sound
In my minds ear
Only there but wait

For city songs in thickets
A desert howl in sun cracked ground
Traffic noise atop an iron gate

Tiny eyes beholding
A million hints of some day break
So deep in what seemed spelled out as the dark
Tiny minds unfolding

The maps to muddled way make
Sent accross the light years to the park

Stars and Beetles
Giving me pins and needles
In a stranger way than I can understand

Taking me everywhere
And in a stranger way than I could ever say

    Love the imagery and, in particular, the unusual rhyming conventions, Jamie!
