A Monarch Butterfly
a pupa escapes its chrysalis. ~ a Monarch unfolds crumpled wings.
a caterpillar
morphs into a butterfly ~
metamorphosis
Dual pairs of brilliant orange-red wings
with black veins and white spots crown them kings.
And appearing both poised and regal;
to bring harm to one is illegal.
