A Monarch Moment

Lovely, Spring butterfly, in your orange and black. A beautiful graceful monarch sipping violet peony flowers. Your wings lightly flapping, your feet anchored. Peaceful! 4/28/2020 Contest: Let the Pens Flow - Butterfly Cinquain Contest Sponsor: Jenish Somadas

Seems like we both love the Monarch butterfly. I see your image is a Monarch. We are on their flight path to Monterey and have seen them on the trees in Pacific Grove. It is an incredible sight. Such a lovely cinquain, Tania. Congratulations.

I couldn't have imagined someone describing a butterfly with anchored feet and like a monarch in such a wonderful way. Congratulations on your well-deserved top placement Tania! :)

Ooh, I enjoyed this! So looking forward to the monarchy's return. Planning to collect every egg I can find this year to raise them indoors. I had three babies fly away last year! My best to you Tania, hugs! xomo
