April is National Poetry Month

Here's a haiku for you:

Don't kill that fly!
Look–it's wringing its hands,
Wringing its feet.
~Kobayashi Issa


And here's another insect-related poem:


Bee! I'm expecting you!
Was saying Yesterday
To Somebody you know
That you were due–

The Frogs got Home last Week–
Are settled, and at work–
Birds, mostly back–
The Clover warm and thick–

You'll get my Letter by
The seventeenth: Reply
Or better, be with me–
Yours, Fly.
~Emily Dickinson
