The Ladybug’s Day

Collection: Ladybug Poems

The ladybug wakes to the dawn,
stretching wide as she yawns.

With wings,
she rides a current of air
to her lovely garden,
landing on flower so fair.

Paying a visit to her friends,
she delights in a cup of tea
with homemade scones
and warm hospitality.

Then she bids them farewell
as she returns to the place
where she dwells,
and reads from her
favorite book of poems.

How content is she
with life’s simple joys!

Filled with a sense of
the magic of life
and the beauty of the Earth
of which she is part,
the ladybug says a prayer
from deep within her heart…
before she retires for the night.

~ Lora Hollings

From the playful curiosity of The Ladybug Poem to the gentle rhythms of The Ladybug’s Day, and from the quiet surprise in There’s a Ladybug in My Bed to the warmth found in Lydia the Ladybug and the reverent tone of Oh Lovely Ladybug, each poem offers a different lens through which to view this small but meaningful creature. Together, these moments of observation and imagination gently unfold into A Ladybug of Culture, where the ladybug becomes not just a subject of wonder, but a symbol of how attention, experience, and reflection shape the stories we carry from nature into ourselves.
