“The Green Moth” for the Poetry Challenge

The Green Moth

Note: The Poetry Challenge was to write 10-14 sentences of poetic prose about a defining moment that influenced a new direction . Wish I had more skill in formatting this so the words came right up to the moth, as they did when it flew onto my screen and then rested quietly as I arranged the words around it. This was the best I could do in recreating the experience.

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      I tried very hard to figure out how to get the words to come right up to the moth. This really happened to me once and I could just type up to it, skip a bit and type again so it looked like the moth was part of the entire document. Without a real moth there, couldn’t do it.

    This is beautiful. It amazes me how when we connect to other species for just a moment, like a butterfly landing on my jacket, it reminds us that we are one in the world. Lovely post, Judy. Glad to have you back safe and sound.
