This sheet of sheer warmth
Cradles imperceptible moths
Hungry for light and leaf.
(These little dots will soon become gypsy moths.)

warm and blue,
i feel it!
happy mother's day sandy!
I love 'sheet of sheer warmth' it reminds me of sunbeams. I confess, I do not know what is in the photo.
Interesting take. The picture, for its coloring is amazing.
Oh Sandy, I like "hungry for light and leaf." How lovely! :)
I thought this was a lily at first. What a great photograph. And your poem is perfect; I would love sheer warmth cradling me on these cold mornings. Thank you for everything.
a beautiful, delicate portrayal of warmth!
oh...& happy mother's day to you too!
Amazing photo... "imperceptible moths." Cool phrase... And I love "hungry for light and leaf." Very cool poem... well, I guess I should say very WARM poem.
Wonderful combination of picture / Nature / poem.
I just discovered these little creatures living in my canna lilies. Lovely photo and poem.
The picture and poem really convey the feeling of warmth; first time visitor to your blog - it is beautiful!
(... and thank you for taking the time to comment...)
I really like that last line. This photo is amazing. And eerie as well. I guess GM are very destructive back East?
Interesting subject for a poem. Those tents are cause for much alarm when spotted.
Oh, amazing photo! I think they must be so ready to break out into the sunlight!
Amazing photo! I never realized they start out so small. Reminds me of how warmth is needed for survival. "Hungry for light and leaf" is wonderful.
Such lovely words for something that I would never consider beautiful but now I need to rethink that!
Life of those moths...I like the visual effect so much!
warm feelings
Very clever.... "hungry for light and leaf" - aren't we all? :D
What a nice shot of the moth nest. It actually looks pretty. Nice poem with sort of a science fiction feel to it.
Fragile and delicate words, beautifully done Sandy! The photo was perfect too.
PS: Yes, I will be happy to contribute for my suggested prompt. I'll start working on it tonight. Should I be posting on my blog or submitting directly to you? If you can reply on MPP that would be great or via email. Thanks. G

You have a good eye! I would never have recognized moths in those speckles.
Nice feel - cozy - to the poem.
the beauty of life in the little details you have spoken so beautifully... awesome photo
Oh, Sandy, this is a delight. I love the warmth in it.
You have found the beauty in something that is so destructive.
..this poet's mind is rented to a philosopher.the search for meanings is never ending..Sandy Carlson-thanks..
Oh my … what an amazing photo and wonderful Haiku for this week’s theme! I’m delighted by the variety of OSI responses each week and savor each one.
Hugs and blessings,
Sandy this is very Haiku. The picture is just perfect with it too.
Ah, I see what the image is now. Love the last line. Resonates off life and limb in an interesting way.
