Monarchs Be Gone

Monarchs be gone. I have blue butterflies now.
They listen to my heart and deliver before I ask.
They mirror my feelings and my thoughts
Improving my attitude at every turn
I am not smug, merely reflecting facts
As they appear to me in blue butterfly forms
Monarchs, you may visit again in the fall
When you match the squash and the corn.
Right now I am being heavily delighted by my blues.

Tell them this way. I'm planning a bumper crop of milkweeds and intend to personally nurse as many monarch babies as possible. Love this. A fave <3 xomo!

They are so beautiful! I will send you some, but keep a few.
