Premium Member Goodbye Winter Welcome Spring
"We must say, goodbye to winter but do not be sad. It will come back again next year with a big smile and plenty of snow. Now we welcome Spring to enjoy." By Poet Winter can be very cold, the wind will sing and be very bold. The ground is covered with fluffy snow, to play in as the...

Premium Member Life Passing Me By POTD
From obscurity come the strangers Fading away, like old dangers. Walking the street of flowers more people pass every hour A few are pleasantry exchangers. Near my porch, robin sings Beautiful music for summer swing! Red berries in a bowl Kelly green butterfles, on patrol Noontime's for swaying and musing. Passersby, smiles of the moment Starry eyes, upon distance fervent! Jasmine fragrance in the air Pink hummingbird is...

Chasing butterflies
~ She chased a pretty butterfly, the field a minty green With Salvia and Baby's Breath, a watercolor scene As fast as her two feet could run, she touched its silken wing, so vivid, a kaleidoscope, a stained-glass kind of thing When suddenly the grasses swayed, she felt herself ascend Then laughed as every tree below began to twist and bend It seemed that something magical had happened 'fore...

Premium Member Why are Butterflies so Beautiful?
From the drab green-brown worm of caterpillars and pupae, Emerges the phosphorescent butterfly so pleasing to the eye! But, why oh why, are butterflies so superbly colorful, That we admire the fleeting flutters and flashes as wonderful? Is it to say: "Be warned I'm toxic don't you dare eat me!" Is it to attract a mate or mimic leaves, or...

Mulberries and butterflies
They love the leaves—the butterflies, mulberry for their eggs, a home and caterpillars' feast, where adults rest their legs. Their beauty drawn—the butterflies, mulberry for their dance, where beauty mirrors beauty well, even with fleeting glance. With weather harsh—the butterflies, mulberry their shelter, through chilling winds or blazing heat, no flight helter-skelter. When hunger strikes—the butterflies, mulberry their nectar, for food, for strength, for energy, their nose, their detector. For friendship’s...

Premium Member Mulberry trees and Butterflies
One day in May, I sat nearby a stream where a few mulberry trees were flourishing. I rested my head against the trunk of one where clusters of white comfrey grew nearby. Beautiful yarrow were also scattered there, with pinkish-purple bells; some were yellow. I must have fallen into a dream because I saw the stream was rippling with fizzy sounds of bubbles. The...

(Mulberry trees talk among themselves About the butterflies that ignore them) Butterflies love oaks, elms, and willows; we know. They play hide and seek with their leaves tinged with snow. Do they flee from us because we are crook-barked? Around us, lethargic crows and eagles fly. They think we cherish their melancholic cry. Aren't, yet, in their blunt fondness too, our hearts...
