Mam Moth

By Gayatri M P

Bending down to water the plants, An unusual sight made me look askance... Try I did, to shake it away, But the stubborn creature had decided to have its way! I stared at it in disbelief, It stood its ground, not willing to give up its fief!

Ahoy there! Who do we have here hiding among the leaves, like a soldier in his fatigues? A camouflage perfect to the core, You can't help but abhor and adore! Clinging to the stem with feet so delicate, The designs on its wings so intricate! Pray, tell me what is your design? That you've decided to stay put, accepting your destiny, so resigned!?
