Summertime Means Butterflies - a Rhyming Wave Poem

Dedicatedt to Maureen McGreavy ********* butterflies, the best time to see, the time to, time to, time to see. summer gardens, yes, come with me. summer in my garden. did I say I beg your pardon, beg your pardon, beg your pardon? tortoiseshell no there's no cordon, tortoise wanders freely. a free lift for all, that's lazy, all that's lazy, all that's lazy. mistaken for a rock, crazy! mistaken, no just coy! nectar, proboscis seeks sweet joy, yes, seeks sweet, seeks sweet, seeks sweet joy. cabbage white males succumb, a ploy, female whites estrogen. these words record each where and when, yes where and, where and, where and when. yes, where from if not my garden? yes, where informations free. butterflies the best time to see yes where informations free ***********

Ah, thank you Mick! Delightful piece! And your third stanza, don't know how you could have known, but it brings to mind one of my favourite poems by one of my favourite poets, "Butterfly On Rock" by Irving Layton. You just turned my blues into skies. Thank you my friend, xomo
