Wild Cherries
A giant snowball in springtime
From twenty yards out the sound and smell
Closer now; breathing her numbing scent
Listening to the drowsy hum
of greedy and jealous bees
forced to share her bounty
with Tiger and Zebra Swallowtails

Swallowtails
Sleep did not come easy, nor did dawn arrive
as a sweet kiss upon a cheek of hope, spring
has yet to dwell in all of winter's vacant spaces.
I lay there, long after sun slithered through the
creases...

My Muse, the Moon
In the middle of the night,
when the butterflies
dance to the moon's song,
I create constellations
with the map of my soul,
allowing astral lights
across feathery skies
to guide my chrysalis
heart back to an...

Georgia Brown
1898-1914
We were the deathless dream dancers
The crazy girls with secrets and surprises!
Me and Nellie and Trudy and Olive.
We waited monthly for the full midnight moon
Waited with no words uttered
Our secret times together,
Times and moments...

Epitaph
Jealous Jumping Jaguars
Amazing antiquated alluring alligators
Bending ballistic beyond belief barbells
Crushing curious crimson crucial crocodiles
Delighting dark dank daring darling dwarfs
Enormously elongated elves effortlessly enthusing eagles
Feeling frisky, ferocious, fervently, fanatically fine.
Green gators goading gregarious grievous gargoyles
Hyped up hungry hippos...

The Grand Canyon
From the Painted Desert, head west
Past sagebrush, brittle bush, desert scrub
And The Petrified Forest at rest
To the Rocky Mountains above
Go past the Continental Divide
Below Douglas firs and pinyon pines
Head down the sunset side
Where the Colorado...

Where Do the Butterflies Go
Teardrops of dews glistening
Breaks the days of dawn
Caterpillars shedding shells of cocoon
Awakening with yawns
The little fairies quaintly appear
Dancing their favorite dances, all the day long
But, where do the butterflies dance to
When the sun hides her...

Under The Shade Tree
I love walking bare foot on freshly cut grass
Sitting under the shade tree while the day rolls on past
Listening to songbirds as swallowtails flutter by
Watching the sun set and the moon rising high.
You can bring...

An Age For Butterflies
Summer crept in
slow, steady steps within,
dogged pacing of hot and humid days
mixed messages of spring slipping away
and summer waiting to climb
patient on the edges of space and time;
a butterfly,...

My Muse and Me
Deep violet Hibiscus with velvety petals,
On the quaint fence, sprawl the zestful creepers.
Mesmerizing tall branches of serene evergreen,
With tricksy Swallowtails, Redbreast Robin merrily whistling.
Ebullient songs of chirping Hummingbirds,
Little bushy squirrel excitedly searching for nuts,
Large leaves...

A Time of Butterflies
It's the time of butterflies to fly
angelic wings drifting hurried by
in the powdered blue clouded sky;
retrograde illusions left from spring
revolving a floating dance upon the wing
venturing into summer's fling;
hovering...

Butterflies
They slip in unnoticed
just below the burning rays of the sun solstice
lighting on the last flowers of summer bare,
sweet nectar wafting in the heavy laden air,
colors brilliant, glowing, coy

The Zebra Swallowtail Butterflies
They float rather than fly with their kite-tailed long wings,
watch them descending on tulips, blueberries and lilacs:
these butterflies are yellow-green striped and love pawpaw trees;
imagine Nature without their fluttering sounds and stunning colors! ...

Queen Anne's Lace
Frothy lacy Queen Anne ’s lace
Majestically surveys her field
The grasshoppers are flying today
Clipping onto tall grasses to launch themselves
Monarchs glide past; she preens, hoping one will stop.
She catches a young one, who strokes her appreciatively.
The...

In Smith-Gilbert Garden
The mulberry fell to its knees;
in Smith-Gilbert Garden, it prays,
near the moss-stone steps;
and I look on, in curiosity.
It was an oddity, but I learned
of its plight. In sorrow, we make
it right, a great fall onto...

Butterfly Lost
The butterflies have gone on their migratory jaunts
flying south to warmer more conducive haunts
and as the flower blooms begin to lessen
few remain in their singular essence
and some hold on and...

My Happy Butterflies
My happy butterflies
Bright yellow wings, scalloped in velvety back, are fluttering
In the mellow morning air,
Dancing in happy search of nectar on a purple,
sweet scented clover bud.
Joined by his mate, equally wondersome decorated.
They greet...

Keepers of the Flowers
The keepers of the flowers’ secrets arrive in their season
Monarch, viceroy, red-spotted purples, given a good reason.
They bring fantasy and delight to the lilacs and bleeding heart.
Keeping their confidence is what they do so wise...

A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies
Little children love their sweet wishes and pecks
when tucked into bed for their nighthly dreams
Light winged butterflies in myriad colours
flutter in flapping open their dreamscapes
They glide in tranquilly in exotic rays
of painted glasswings and swallowtails

A Fairy Fun Day
Where mountains fade to valley shade
And trees give way to meadow's blade
Cottony cattail, wild lilies teem
Obscuring an enchanted stream
Tis there amongst the grassland rue
This tiny fairy village grew
I will not say just where they stay
And...

Dance of the Butterfly
Late summer floats along the deep blue sky
and in the thick humid air by and by
takes to flight, the butterfly.
Fragile creatures, colorful yet discrete
slipping in on silent insect feet
to dance light...

Seems a Lifetime
In bed with you,
The swallowtails, I count their dots.
In bed with you,
Inside this box, the splinter rue.
This garden floats with spectral spots.
You seem cold now; I had the hots,
In bed with you.
Above the...
