Though she isn’t just a butterfly She’s been a monarch of the sky Wings, so gentle, often impress Like love from above, she does bless Like the ruler she’s always stood Lovely and kind, reigning with good She knows affection won’t repress Like love from above, she does bless Matriarch of hope, joy and peace Just like the queen of scenic Greece Her duties, much, I must confess Like love from above, she does bless Sovereign and sure, she is a light Shining like the sun, kind and bright Friendship is found in her caress Like love from above, she does bless Empress of her time, filled with grace Sincere, her promise an embrace She is known for her faithfulness Like love from above, she does bless

Thank you. Like I said, I don't feel like a queen, but it really is what my name means. Love you friend.

Regina, I find it amazing that your name means some of which I have actually written about you in two of my poems. I know you're aware of one of them, 'The Lovely Poetess, Regina McIntosh' remember "humble, yet so 'queenly'...?" There was a second poem, 'A Garden Wild', you probably didn't know that you were who I had in mind as the "monarch butterfly". I depicted myself as the little yellow butterfly, since your poems inspire me. I'm not sure you knew about that. I <3 this poem, amazes me :)

This is beautiful and your name so reflects your spirituality and your personality. If it's the contest I am thinking of, I was not able to really understand what was wanted from us exactly.

Thank you sweet friend and fellow poet... I wasn't sure what to write but read her example and the directions and this is what came out of that. Hope it's ok. Love you dear lady. God bless you too. Love, Gina

Creative way to go with this one. Not sure if it is for a contest or if it is if it has been judged. I think I have seen two others with Queen in the title. Reads like a good contender if it is for a contest. Thanks for sharing the information and for dropping by my page. Sara
