Writers Block Challenge # 26

Ladybug, Ladybug

Fly away home

Your house is on fire

Your children will burn

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d fly home if I could, 

But I’m lost in this weed. 

The flower I’d chosen

Has all gone to seed.

The seeds have made wings

Of their own, and I fear

The wind will blow them and me

So far from here

My children will burn

‘Fore my wings touch the sky

Why did I choose this damn flower?

Oh why?
