This Ladybug color wheel shows twelve chroma cousins in full rainbow intensity at an Ikebana class listening to a yellow petal professor.
Ladybugs mix and match spots with spring flowers. They finally settle on fashionable, classic black spots for the summer season.
Ladybug spots change colors with rhythmic, chromatic autumn concert.
The color competition with the leaves is intense.
The merry beetle chroma cousin chorus sings color carols wearing decorative hues. Warm and cool, bright and neutral, and light and dark, all performing in perfect harmony. The soloist sings, “Ladybug sings the blues.”
The last Ladybug I saw was a male, stomping around looking for some action.
He was a bad-boy-beetle, tracking paint all over my studio, sporting seven spots for good luck. He was a big, spotted lug and I called him “Bady Lug.” It was the only time I ever saw a bug wearing cowboy beetle boots bellowing like a bison.
Thanks for visiting me.

LADYBUG BONES
my hard reflective dome
hesitates in a vacant setting
wonders
where are my children?
my barely more than boys
paraded out in uniform
in step to metal tunes
eyes glazed by brazen promises
my girls but beauties
learn lessons without mercy
lose innocence without permission
dried tears
but not always so
thank goodness
worries of the world may weigh on me
mire me down in negative noise
but i know dreams do come true
a single simple wish
can change the color of my spots
distractions change the seasons
now ever so careful my ladybug bones rise
to the irresistible lure of shrubbery
sparkling under the sugar-baking sun
