Blossoms

There’s a blossom on my bottom
where a caterpillar kissed me;
and another on my shoulder
from a spider-bite blushed pink-y.

These bugs, they think I’m candy,
Look for nectar in my family;
Leave gingham prints upon my skin
And phantoms in my belly!

Buttercup Close-up

It’s the buttercup petals licking their lips;
The licorice candy and lemonade sips.
