Where Do LadyBugs Sleep?

Ladybug Atop Blade of Grass

Okay... Now it is day 2 of my 30 poems of April poetry challenge in which I am striving to write at least one poetic verse every single day.

With two down and 28 to go, my next poem is a simple one about ladybugs and sleeping. I decided to write this one after spotting ladybugs crawling around the backyard this day and deciding to take their pictures. They're finding places to take a snooze while I photographed them might have struck me as insulting had their tiresomeness not come as an unexpected, yet welcomed and pleasurable surprise...

Now you may enjoy the pics with the poem...

Where Do LadyBugs Sleep?

Ladybug Eating Blade of Grass

Where do ladybugs sleep...?

Perhaps in your pajamas

Or maybe your dear momma's

Red yellow blueish green

Ladybug Head Shot

Where do ladybugs sleep...?

How 'bout in locomotives

Combustible coal deposits

Forcing train wheels to roll

Two Ladybugs Shell and Leg Views

Where do ladybugs sleep...?

Perhaps inside the lamp shade

Switched off bulb's heat won't be made

Too hot or charge a toll

Sleeping Ladybug Head Tucked Similar to Turtle

Where do ladybugs sleep...?

One true place is beneath grass

Green blades provide full shade as

They cuddle unafraid
