Hoverfly (Eristalis Pertinax) Poem by Roy Ballard
Hoverfly (Eristalis Pertinax)
A micro ounce!
On air with see-through wings
I sit or bounce.
Wings whiz! Flight ace!
I want to be and then I'm in
another place.
Blink! Zip! I'm gone.
Bare is the space
I hung upon.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Eristalis pertinax is territorial. It defends its spot fiercely; Star Wars does not match it. A few days and it is gone. There is a moral here, somewhere.
