| Monarch Butterflies of Pacific Grove Photo by Chris Lemoine |
I don't do much rhyming poetry. So I was pretty proud of this one. From my 1998 chapbook.
Monarch Butterflies
Fragile, determined creatures
Your translucent crimson golds
Fill tranquil aqua skies,
Transcending vivid seasons
To a winter home you fly,
To a place near the Pacific
you cluster against the breeze,
Gleaming in shards of sunlight,
High above in autumn's trees
and huddled in subtle multitudes
you linger till spring's return,
A sample of nature's pure patience
Giving lessons man should learn.
