Free Pass Poem by Ima Ryma

Free Pass



The Venus flytrap plant is known
For liking to eat bugs galore.
Once on its leaves the bugs have flown,
The trapped bugs become main encore.
But Venus flytraps do rely
On bugs to also pollinate.
Some beetles and bees freely fly
Into the plant without dire fate.
How does the Venus flytrap know
Whether to eat the bug or not?
Tiz a secret why this is so -
Just Venus flytraps' food for thought.

Somehow the plant knows how to greet,
And pick and choose which bugs to eat.
