Monarch Butterfly

See?
I'm here, 
having split
my emerald,
gilded chrysalis -
as I emerge,
a monarch.
I'm here.
See!

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed my picture. I got my colored pencils out! I have milkweeds in my garden, which attracts lots of monarch butterflies. They are always hanging their chrysalises on or around my house!
