The Visitor
By: Mary Beth Magee
You visit for a moment,
Accept a breath of hospitality,
Then dash away again.
You share your company briefly.
But in that time, oh,
The magic you bring.
From tiny eggs to instars
To gloriously patterned wing.
I watched you hatch and crawl,
Grow, shed and wriggle.
You change your dress. Your
New look makes me giggle.
You give me joy and delight
With your aerial ballet.
My royal friend, magician,
Harlequin at play,
Dear monarch, share your gift
Of grand, exuberant joy
With all. Give us eyes to
See, and feelings to employ.
You set an example
Of living in the moment.
Let us live so our days
Are likewise spent.
Dash on, my friend,
Your destiny calls.
Send your children my way
When the milkweed grows tall.
Spring Comes
By: Candlewitch
Fields of springy clover
beneath my barefoot toes,
dance-happy feet kick up
a delight everyone knows!
Green, green all around,
a heart full of joys untold
rolling over and over in
nature's paradise hold!
In gardens of my growing hopes
tulips, buttercups and crocus
flourish healthily blossoming,
as Spring comes into focus.
