This poem is so cute, you should drame it. I love how you described the little tiny ladybug, it's very sweet. 'Strength doesn't come from size, it comes from will.' My favorite line right there😖🫀

[civic gate]

Nabakov on Kafka's The Metamorphosis:

"(This is a very nice observation on my part to be treasured all your lives. Some Gregors, some Joes and Janes, do not know that they have wings.)"

In France the nickname of coccinelle is "Bête à bon Dieu" (literally beast of good god) because the legend has it that during a public execution, a ladybug landed on the neck of a condemned man about to have his head cut off: the executioner tried to make it leave but it returned each time. King Robert II the Pious, seeing this as a divine manifestation, decided to pardon him.

Also its adorable

That’s a beautiful story. A lady bug having the power to save a man’s life.
