Where are the monarchs?


Poem Artwork


Autumn long in getting
here; the monarchs are slow
in coming.  After the

long, wet Spring and summer,
summer's finally here:
early October and

it's still in the nineties.
No azure skies filled with
orange and black wings, no trees

leafed with butterflies, no
branches shedding yellows
and reds, no relief to

the high temperatures --
strange.  Will we go from
Summer into Winter?

Will there even be a
Winter?  Time will tell.  Want
to know:  have you seen them?

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (10/4)

We saw one on our trip this past weekend in Northern New Mexico. Trees are still green [for the most part]. I hope they change colors before just dropping all their leaves.

Winter is an old old man and he walks very slowly, while Autumn still have a few shots left of warmth to give.
The leaves will be flushing reed on trees caught disrobing.

Yes Karla the seasons are changing. We had winter a couple of weeks ago then a heat wave here now. There is a mosquito plague already. No butterflies. Karen is right it's crazy. Great animated monarch...

I am waiting for fall to come, too; feels more like summer out there here in Texas! CRAZY weather we are having this year! Very well done; love the pic!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D

Not many Monarchs here like up in Savannah. We have the Swallow Tails and Painted Ladies more than any other butterfly. I am a friend to these winged creatures. They land on my arm and wrist most time and they stay as long as i let them. I wrote a poem about a Monarch Experience in Hilton Head. I may repost it. Love the fact you care so much for your environment. It concerns me too.
Love,
Susan
