What a beautiful combination of words, colors and scenery, Gypsy...I guess the bugs fell of the leaves into the sea a sailed away...This is surely a very well crafted
5-7-5 syllable count poem...

Thanks for sharing..

Congratulations on your placing...
All the best.
Warmly,
Victoria

Gypsy,

A very nice overall presentation for this post. Of course, I like your alliterative flourish in your first line. Your illustration captures the moment as the bugs disappear on the horizon.

Good luck wishes regarding the contest entry, Gypsy. I loved the dual pictures- the leaf floating on the water and the leaf. You chose your words well, imaging a bug floating to the sea, wise words. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!
