Sense Sonnet - Acher

Katydid Try

The katydid plays hide and seek
With the birds of the forest in game
Of life and death to miss a beak
With katydid as snack as aim.
The katydid's fav food is leaf,
So looks for one, color and size,
As fool birds camoflage in brief,
Hidden in plain sight from birds' eyes.
The katydid presses in down lie.
Very still, katydid does stay,
Hoping any bird flies on by,
And at the leaf, nibbles away.

So did it escape getting caught?
Alas no, the katydid not.
