Milkweed

The field is full of pods
Ready to let the seeds fly
Milkweed, bursting with life
Waiting to spread growth
Like 100 plants of inspiration
Showing positive change
New beginnings and hope
This is what nature can teach
In so many glorious ways
The ongoing lessons of our lives
Taught by everything around us
    -  On any given day   -

I also was amazed you could write about milkweed without mentioning Monarchs! So it seems you are prepared to win the butterfly contest! Aloha! Rico

Another beautiful slice of nature is found in your poetry. I have read that milkweed is the favorite food of the Monarch butterfly. Nice one Heidi.
