Premium Member Mulberries and Monarchs
Each year I plant an herbal garden very near a stand of mulberry trees and every Spring when they're in bloom they attract butterflies and honey bees. This morning, as I tended the sweet basil, a young Monarch landed close to my hand. Then, a cloud of them swirled around me, and flew back to the mulberry trees to land. For that...

Monarch Butterflies start off as a cocoon, then they come out into beautiful butterflies. The Lovely monarchs started migrating, then one nice bright day, they disappeared Now they're gone. On cold Sunny day, the beautiful Monarch Butterflies Came back from migrating, oh, what a beautiful sight To see clusters of monarch butterflies...

It isn’t the big celebrations, Enormous dinners or huge gifts. Parties never rouse foundations, Jamborees or festivals. It isn’t the life-sized creations, Who impress kings, rulers or monarchs. It’s the little things, a gentle expression, When hearts meet in the deserts, When dreamers discover their profession, When simple reaches into the heart, Pulls out a feeling, an impression, The beautiful that inspires the light. It isn’t in...

From the underside of a milkweed leaf you appeared to me, oh butterfly you spanned and metamorph before my eyes from a tiny caterpillar to a creature full of flame. They call you the common tiger or the wanderer, but to me you are "The Monarch," most regal butterfly of both heaven and earth. To Southern Mexico you will soon...

Monarchs are hatching and seeking flowers, Their gossamer orange wings fluttering wildly Then perching atop the pollinating towers. Monarchs are hatching and seeking flowers When it rains they look for sheltered bowers Beauty in perpetual motion, to put it mildly, Monarchs are hatching and seeking flowers Their gossamer orange wings fluttering wildly. Written October 14, 2021...

Sonnet: Glooming Swords
I want my sword to water wilting plants, Yet not to slay any false foes in wars Like an ant killer gobbling helpless ants, Or any monstrous beast that walks on fours. I see sun like a wearied man plod home, And moon stare vacantly across the field; Wind hums with dreary ghosts that wildly...

Premium Member Monarchs Be Gone
Monarchs be gone. I have blue butterflies now. They listen to my heart and deliver before I ask. They mirror my feelings and my thoughts Improving my attitude at every turn I am not smug, merely reflecting facts As they appear to me in blue butterfly forms Monarchs, you may visit again in the fall When you match the squash and the...

I thought the landscape burst in sudden flame with embers wild cavorting in the glare of dawning sun, but boundless sparks became a throng of monarchs flitting through the air. Arbitrium Divisa 5 Gregory R Barden 12/18/19 Original Poem: Pixie Dragons 9/18/19...

Last Monarch Summer
It had been years since the seasons changed Then the Monarch butterflies Shook from a blue sky in July Like a box of colored confetti Re-appeared a miracle atop the sticky meadows And the day before was so hot That on my morning walk I found tree frogs glued to the pavement In mid-hop Paralyzed with eyes looking up Clay knickknacks belonging to a shelf In...

Two monarchs rise from flowers blue In meadows green they frolic too They flutter on the winds of spring Lithely dancing in their flight Enraptured by the season's delight On sunbeams warm they flap their wings As flowers bow to these two kings ...
