A ladybird sits safely on a window
in her red dress with circles of the nights sky
she sits silently safely
looking into the house , maybe
wandering at the walls where someone else lives
seeing a room with her little eyes
sitting safely on a window when once she had her little friendly feet lightly tenderly on the grass
as if like a bird yet smaller invisible sometimes unnoticed sighing
maybe she wishes to be seen
so she stands on a window looking in near to a girl sitting safely on a chair
so small so bright eyed
little ladybird sits in a new place
looking in wandering at the walls where someone else lives
wishing to be seen by someone in another space
wishing to be seen by that girl by the window
Little ladybird in red dress is often invisible hiding in cushions of the grass
sitting on a leaf
she may sigh when not seen
there may be others near to her
yet so small that she has to find a way to be noticed
as much as that beautiful bird flying the sky
so she sits on a pink chair when others are outside
she sits on a window where a girl may have the chance of seeing her little friendly red rose dress
and she waits and is seen
someone noticed
someone in a space apart yet near ti her living in their own mind
with their own smiles with their own troubled sighs
noticed her presence
her friendly nature
the way her colours sit
and the way the little ladybird matters too
and maybe just maybe the little ladybird smiled
Because she was noticed that day

Ah but she was surely seen. Gorgeous imagery dear Rose. 💖
Yes , Thankyou teddy 🙂
There was one outside the kitchen window she seemed to be struggling so my sister put her on a little leaf and back onto the grass .. then a few days before that there was one outside the living room window .. it seemed to be caught in a spiders web .. my sister saved that one aswell 🙂
I think they are lovely .. and thought it would be nice to write about one again

Here in the states, we call them ladybugs, but I think that ladybird describes the delicacy of these beautiful little creatures so much better. Your love of nature shines through in this charming poem dear friend, simply to notice it makes a day better. Thank you!
