Ecstatic Poetry


Poem Artwork

 

 
 
"Come quick hun," 
David called to me 
as I sat at my easel 
absorbed in my painting 
 
"The milkweed has blossomed 
and a Queen Monarch butterfly 
is laying eggs on its leaves"
 
Together we watched in awe 
as an elegant orange and 
black speckled monarch beauty 
fluttered and flirted with 
her favorite flower 
 
The Monarch butterfly sadly 
and unfortunately is 
on the extinction list 
so we humans have all 
been encouraged 
to plant milkweeds 
so that we don't lose 
these gorgeous creatures 
 
David has taken up the call 
this is his second milkweed plant 
please everyone 
plant milkweeds! 
 
Long live the Monarch Butterflies!

As a child I remember wandering through the pastures to the woods. They were filled with Monarch butterflies and milkweed everywhere which we loved to whack with whatever stick we were carrying to see the white milk ooze out.

We thought that milkweed and monarchs would live forever in those fertile pastures along with Canadian thistle and other fun things like puff balls we would stomp on.

I never put pesticides on my lawn and now I leave my entire backyard side yard grow in the spring until about May before I cut it down because so many creatures depend upon those so-called weeds for their existence.
