Flies in Disguise
They dress up like a bee
hovering, zooming
around each tiny flower of
the Lamb’s Ear in my garden.
They seem fierce in their quest
to chase others away.
Some would back away, keep
their distance, but I know
they are just wee flies

Zoom on over to d’Verse Poets Pub for some quadrille poems, if you dare
LOVE this. Flies in disguise, indeed. Crafty little buggers.

I looked up lambs ear, as I did not know the name. It is a plant I know it grows in my garden. I love hover flies too in their bee disguise though to me I see them as phoney wasps .
I love your poem 💜

‘Flies in disguise’ indeed! I enjoyed your quadrille, hovering like a bee, Candy. It reminded me of the ladybirds that have been appearing on our bedroom windowsill for months. Some are just alive, others not, and I can’t work out where they’re coming from. Maybe they’re asleep and waiting for the sunshine to wake them up.

I know those flies, just dress up to scare.
