When Butterflies Return
by Jack R Roberts → (All Poetry by Jack R Roberts)

Gazing through a frosted window,
On a dreary winter day.
Looking out to where the garden,
Beneath a snowy blanket lay.

Just a few short months ago,
Life in the garden did abound.
Now all there is silence,
Coming from the frozen ground.

The garden plants have wilted,
The green no longer there.
The butterflies have gone away.
That filled the summer air.

The north wind blows through barren trees,
A leaf cannot be found.
It’s blowing through the branches,
Makes a cold and eerie sound.

But I’ll watch out this window,
And for springtime I will yearn.
And I’ll know that springtime has arrived,
When the butterflies return.

Jack Roberts – January 3, 2003

This work is so picturesque. I, too, yearn for Spring & the butterflies. You've made us all long for it! :)

You described my garden exactly but spring comes long before the butterflies return here, in fact we don't see butterflies here until well into the summer. It's still an excellent poem.

Me too! I love butterflies and have a few poems about my winged friends. In this poem the air is void of the flutter of color and the reader will agree to missing the Monarchs, Swallowtails and all the other animated colors gives us to appreciate.

Very well done from this Nature Lover.

Jack that was wonderful! The rhyme and the imagery, it was like a film before my eyes. Or a diary found in some forbidden place, now opened up to a world of greatness. Great and creative poem.

Warm Love,
