Ladybug Who Got a Makeover | Poem | Bookosmia
Did you hear about the ladybug who got a makeover ? 8 year old Riyaarth Saraogi from Gurgaon reveals, in this creative ekphrastic poem.
There was a best-looking insect competition
To be held on the trunk of the hollow banyan tree
Wanted to participate,
a not so good-looking ladybug
With tanned red skin and light grey spots on her wings.
She went to Insecton – a salon owned by Mr. Ant
In a sad tone asked him to touch up her wings and tan
The ant was a genius and famous in his field
Telling her not to worry he took out his magic tools
He painted her spots jet black giving them a purple shimmer
Making her feel ticklish he painted her body bright red
He brushed and set with gel her body hair
And made her all ready to be the winner.
