Lilac Kisses
As the lilacs swayed in the summer breeze
a monarch floated by with fluttering ease
he landed quite softly with a regal kiss
the lilacs were now in a crown of bliss
He then went over to the red clover
joined by a swallowtail, emerald all over
a gossamer winged had its eye on the dogbane
where a tiger swallowtail had laid it's claim
Then an orange giant skipper alit on the milkweed
probably to lay eggs as this was it's need
Another monarch sailed by me, close to my lips
I guess I was in the path of its trail of kisses
