When I espy you in the morning light You truly are such a delightful sight Your jeweled wings catch my eye As you dance in the cerulean sky Alighting to sip nectar from summer flowers I could watch your beauty for many hours I’m mesmerised by your colourful wings Such joy a beautiful butterfly brings To a .. contest sponsored by David Lindsay 07~14~16

Lovely poem, Jan. Every late August swarms of monarch butterlies appear at our beaches as part of the journey to final destinations. They are so tired they are easily picked off golden rods on which they fuel up. Spectacular sight. I conceived "Smart Boy" at my local coffee shop early this morning! Thanks for the stop by. /M
