Don’t Call Me Daisy

Tina Stewart Brakebill

Awaiting their time

To spread their wings and take flight

The dashing pair sleep

This buggy haiku was inspired by seeing these rascals (pictured above) firmly stuck to the side of a building last night while walking home from dinner. Social media posting help me identify them as dasychira meridionalis. Honestly I’m still creeped out by them but I wish them well as they transition to this.

And thanks to Ronovan Writes for the perfect prompts (hope/dash) for my new buggy friends! I substituted awaiting for hoping because I liked the way it sounded.

Summer hit Florida full on this week so I was a bit nostalgic for a midwestern spring until I saw that it snowed up there  this week! So here’s hoping for a real spring for my northern fam and friends and a bit more springish temps for me. 😉

Thanks to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge.  Our words this week are pitch and tone. I substituted timbre for pitch.
