Apologies in advance for the swear in this one.
Surprised by beauty unlooked for
Iridescent green, gold and bronze
Glinting from a beetle's back
As it heaves its determined way
Out of a pile of shit

You, my sweet lady, are a poetess like no other. If only shit could be this literary all the time.
More poems? Pretty please?
(And don't apologise for swearing – it almost spoiled the punch line, so to speak!)
That's my kind of poetry...
What a shitty poem.
ba-dum-bum
Nice, would the converse of this be like finding a fly in your chardonay? Or winning the lottery and dying the next day?
Teacup - I've got one other in the pipeline. I know, but swearing is not so common on my blog so I thought I ought to put a warning.
; )
SkyDad - What, short sweary ones?
: )
BeckEye - Hahahahahaha!
Eric - Haha, nice Nineties reference.
That's my kind of beetle.
Brilliant. I love that kind of poetry. Da dada dada bang!
Wow, that took me back to being a little kid and watching the giant horseflies at the beach. You described them perfectly.
Madame - I prefer Australian christmas beetles, they're still shiny but less invested in poop.
; )
Mo - Thank you!!
WWW - Aw, thanks!
I had no idea you were so poetic. Or so observant. Next time I'm out walking, I'm going to make a point of looking for big steamers, and see if I can't get some of the same appreaciation for beauty that you have.
Hahaha!
...you think I'm observant.
I'm going to hold my tongue and say that last line out loud so it sounds like "out of a pirate ship." Technically, that means you didn't swear.
I learned a lot from the playground.
Why do doodoo bugs have to be so pretty?
TishTash - hahahahaha! Excellent, I've been absolved!
Sally-Sal - I know, right? I definitely did not want to pick it up for a closer look.
Now there's a metaphor!
Vic - Thank you!!! I thought it was really interesting how everyone was taking it so literally. While it did actually happen, it seemed to be meaningful in other ways. More ways than "damn, I really need to clean the yard."
