Regal Beauty
A creamy white egg clings to a milkweed plant
As a gentle spring breeze blows
Within a time not too distant
A caterpillar will emerge and grow
A short time later it will transform once more
As it turns into a cocoon
Something beautiful is in store
Which we'll see quite soon
And then from its cocoon it disembarks
As it feels the warmth of the sun
This is the birth of the Monarch
A creature from which poems are spun
It waits awhile for its wings to dry
Before it makes its maiden flight
And then, when the time is right
It takes to the air with royal delight
And I watch in awe as the butterfly flutters by
A regal beauty soaring through the sky t
