What the Oriole Said
Sunlight winks from wings
As Gray-spotted Lady Bugs buzz
Flight lanes filled with Polka-dotted Volkswagons
As one brave bug inches along a dandelion
Scents of freshly tended garden invade dreams
They sink towards the cotton froth float
Take a look at, say, Komunyakaa's poem "Ode to the Maggot" or Bishop's "The Fish" in your anthology. Keep generating more language in this draft. You'll want more language with which to play in a subsequent draft.
