Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Keepers of the Flowers

The keepers of the flowers’ secrets arrive in their season
Monarch, viceroy, red-spotted purples, given a good reason.
They bring fantasy and delight to the lilacs and bleeding heart.
Keeping their confidence is what they do so wise and smart.

Faeries and bumblebees try to get in on the confidence action.
But they end up not learning anything to the tulip’s satisfaction.
You see, the zebra swallowtails and orange sulphurs too.
Know how to keep secrets from the likes of them, me and you.

We hide in the meadow, and try to not look interested at all.
In swoops the great spangled fritillary, landing on lilac so tall.
We lean our ears toward the garden, acting nonchalant and lazy.
Fooling not one monarch or zinnia, delighting the lilies and daisy.

L Milton Hankins July 17, 2022 at 2:04 PM This is so creative, Caren. I see you are acquainted with my meadow, too. I ambled down yesterday, but it was so hot I thought I was going into head stroke, so I came home quickly. Saw some bunnies and a deer sans fawn.
