Haiku Moment: paper bug

ghostly guest, wrinkled yet strong

P.S. Does anyone know what this paper bug is actually called? Because of the massive forelegs (for its size), I wondered if it was a relative of a praying mantis. But the rest of the body doesn’t seem to fit that category.

Haiku Moment: barefoot

toes and roots dig deep

garden girl searches, enjoys;

dines on spring color

barefoot, bare-root seek

connect with God’s fertile earth

nourishment for girl and plant
