A Monarch In the Lilac Bush
~~A Monarch in the Lilac Bush~~
There she was dressed in full array
The most beautiful Monarch butterfly posing quietly before me
As I painted her wings upon my canvas
Motionless except for a few moments when she stretched her wings
Caught up in the moment
My heart was captivated by her beauty
Her leopard-spotted thorax
And her stained glass window wings
A beauty to behold like a priceless Mona Lisa
Her antennae erect
And her soft spindly feet
The tapestry of her splendor was beyond my wildest imagination
Caught up in the moment
My heart was captivated by her beauty
There she was dressed in full array
My perfect butterfly
My Mona Lisa...ahhh!
