Listening

I listen to him nodding to his beliefs held on sacred forms et al. . . wishing him away to chase swallowtails and cricket song

Queen Anne's Lace

An angelica queen wearing a gown of lace
Like fine Victorian lace tattered by hand.
Radiating white flowers, dainty and sweet,
She nods and waves with the slightest breeze.
Her stems stand with finery, airy green ferns.
Bumble bees come drinking her sweet nectar 
And swallowtails feed upon her tender leaves.
Wildflowers are nature's beautiful bouquets.

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.

Butterflies

Butterflies black and blue
Butterflies I see you
Pollinating as you do
Butterflies I see you

Butterflies orange and black
Butterflies please come back
Butterflies of pale hue
Butterflies in light blue

Zebra striped fluttering by
Butterflies in the sky
Painted lady, swallowtails
Sitting on the fence post nails

Butterflies pink and blue
Butterflies I love you

"A collection of butterflies is a kaleidoscope, to watch them flutter together is kaleidoscopic." 

blue painted lady's
flutter cobalt wispy wings ~
parading nectar

milkweed butterflies
vibrant in orange and black~
fanciful tigers

swaying swallowtails
fluttering along green stems ~
delicate giants

Sam Sends Smileys-Tautogram

Sam sends smileys,
Sheila seeks sobriety;
Siberian skies shed sadness!
Seven Swallowtails swirl,
sunset sets scenic shades:
scintillating, stunning, 
stimulating, sparkling!

Sordid sentiment stays sentient,
safeguarding searing sailing ships;
sailors sit still sipping scotch,
soaring seagulls start shrilling:
somber, sorrowful symphony!

Sordid sea swerves ship,
storm stirs subdued senses;
Simon strums strings...
sober Samuel sings!

Park Therapy

I saw two eastern tiger swallowtails today. 
I watched as they flickered, fluttered, and frolicked, rising and dipping. 
A calm breeze gently passed my way.
In the distance, a boy mirthfully turned and flipped.

A sanguine sun coyly peeked through tall pines and sweet gums.
Then a gentle voice came and caressed my ears. 
I savored sweet breaths as a bee crossed and hummed. 
And I heard, "Shhh! Hold on, I'm abating all troubles and banishing all fears."

Premium Member A Spotted Fawn

Rolling hills, alive with hydrangea and thyme
  O'er cavernous quarries of sapphire and lime
Darting monarchs, tiger swallowtails
  Artwork on the wing, a-lighting in the dale

A tender, spotted fawn startles awake
  My awkward footsteps her slumber shakes
She pirouettes away, with virtuoso leaps
  Each elegant stride, mine forever to keep
