Last night, there was a party
in the forest,
a midnight party!
Just the bugs and insects,
no one else..
they worked hard
for it was a grand party
each one doing their best..
The twinkling lights set up
by the fireflies, shining
all through the dark night.
The décor and colour
by the
butterflies and dragonflies,
all with their
vibrant wings fluttering.
The music?
Of course the music band
was all ready to rock,
the grasshoppers in their
green dress on the violin,
The cicadas and crickets, all
dressed in brown
on the drums,
the centipedes and the millipedes
playing soft notes
on the piano,
the praying mantis
with a guitar
strung across his shoulder,
strumming softly
was all set to sing
at the top of his voice!
And the food ?
OH YES, the food;
the bees in their
black and yellow striped dress
brought the honey,
the marching ants,
dressed all in red
brought the bread crumbs,
It was yummy, delicious!
The lady bugs in their red and black
polka dotted dress
danced the night away!
And the wasps
with their stings ready
stood guard, so no one gatecrashed!!!
For the party was just
for the bugs and the insects..
So, how do I know it was a great party,
because
I was that little butterfly
fluttering in the
blue and gold dress
dancing the night away
at the party in the forest,
my wings reflecting
the twinkling lights
of the fireflies....

- Comment from author about the poem: Thought I will write something which the children might like (hoping they do). Also a sort of wish to be a butterfly flying with all the insects, in their world just for a little while.
