Buddliea but no butterflies?

I think I’ve seen two cabbage white butterflies this year, no red admirals, no peacock butterflies, no commas, no fritillaries.

What’s done this? Could it be the weather, we had cold wet spring. Could it be insecticides? There are more being used that are affecting bees. Nicotinoids are banned in some countries, but have been allowed here I think. It’s a real worry, without insect pollenators we run the risk of not having food crops pollenated.

We really need to get our act together, now!

Apostrophe to Catastrophe. ..

IMG_20180501_235109you know sometimes how two words of similar spelling can sound amazing together…..

Apostrophe to Catastrophe does that to me..                                   bang and hiss, a comma of bliss…

In the wron’g place, confuses the populace?                                     Make’s me s,mile. ..for a wh’Ile!

Each, word, divided, it can’t be hi’ded..                                             this poem’s lops’ided,

Like hiccups in the mi,st……                                                                 I’m really must de,sis,t!

Beware the comma, apostrophe….                                                     it may create a catastrophe!
