Butterflies' Magic Dance Nights had grown cooler, days were still warm when the butterflies came with all their charm of orange and black, grand Monarchs galore, right up to the back of our kitchen door. In the backyard, among the cottonwood tall came one one-hundreds, then many more, all wanting to stay a night or two among the cottonwood's leaves; the magic begun. I went outside to gaze in rapturous delight as the Monarchs danced in the early fall night before to the cottonwoods they would alight to rest among their thousands, wings folded upright. Oh, this amazing show, how it must magic be! and I could not hold the amazement within me, so I called and cajoled and everyone came to witness the magic of the butterflies game. A clap of the hands, a flutter of winging, now magic came from the children all singing as they wanted to watch the butterflies dance before night overtook this enchanted romance. ©KRJ 28 August, 1999 |

This is a great piece of poetry. I could have voted for this one if you had chose to sumbit it. Thank you for sharing.  Ronil (What I say I live by and what I live by is what I create). |

Just beautiful Karilea! What gorgeous imagery this brought back to me! You got me completely sidetracked after reading this ( ), because it brought back to mind, an incredible Monarch Butterfly migration that passed through our old place about 2 years ago. They settled on a huge maple in our old back yard. I uploaded the images and created a little page just for you to see ... it was stunning! Hope you enjoy! http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/5407/xSunshine.html Beautiful poem Kailea! Best wishes, /Kit |
