The Mexican Monarch You may see them passing by On their spiral flight, through the sky You might see the North American Mariposa While on your patio enjoying your Mimosa A two-way journey, migración magnifico! From frigid Canada to welcoming warm Mexico On milkweed plants or the Buddleia bush Imbibing on rich sugar beads, a butterfly’s kush Dramatic millions! Bright orange trimmed with black East of the Rocky Mountains where they’ll go back Endangered phenomenon is the avian march Overwintering travel of the Mexican Monarch

*Plant a butterfly-friendly garden, offering the iconic insects safe places to lay eggs and native plants full of nectar to fuel their long migration. Because of loss of milkweed the migration would end. Milkweed Seeds For Monarch Butterflies (Common, Showy, Butterfly and Rose) attracts Butterflies, Bees and Pollinators Heirloom Flower Seeds Wildflower.

Papillon flight to Capistrano. God's sense of beauty on invading Monarch's wings. Lovely piece (and topical), Anaya. ~;o]

Such magnificent creatures, utilizing their inner compass, aided by the sun and the stars, to navigate towards their migration sites, such intrepid and resilient creatures. Sadly, they're becoming an endangered species. Your poem is beautifully written Anaya! Hugs from Las Vegas...ab
