A First and Last Poem for Potlatch Poetry
My Tiny Visitor by damommy

 
He came and went same day, same way.
It seemed to me he’d things to say,
and so I gave my hand that day.
His visit lasted quite a while,
and when he left, I had a smile.
 
He turned his head so I could see
his shiny eyes looked right at me,
and stood relaxed, completely free,
a face completely without guile.
I liked his bug-gy pose and style.
 
A peace descended as he stood
and gave his message best he could.
He left me feeling very good.
An hour passed, the perfect stay.
He came and went same day, same way.

Author Notes
This is true. The little praying mantis sat on my hand for nearly an hour. I couldn't get him to leave. When I closed the door, he was still on the glass door, looking in.
