Watching Monarch Faeries

delicate faerie heroes with your nutmeg wings
dazzling me with your filigree onyx lacings
you flutter and tease before alighting together
ah, yes, I think. You are heading toward the lilac
you fool me and land on the magnolia blossoms
their vanilla centers seem to be of special interest
two matching monarchs, conversing with my blooms
I smile as a scent of spearmint wafts toward me

Very fine writing, Caren. I'm very partial to butterflies, and Monarchs are among my favorites. I see them often in the lilacs.
