Monarch

In my small yard

I looked to the skies

I did then observe

With my very eyes

All around and above

Flying low and up high

Fragile wonders of nature

Monarch butterflies

 

These special creatures

Thousands of miles they roam

Have started their journey

To their Mexican home

They will return next year

When the sun brings us warmth

And trees and flowers blossom

As spring and summer come

I love this poem! First I completely agree with {A} about inspiration. I love those lines too. I also love

"Flying low and up high
Fragile wonders of nature
Monarch butterflies"

and

"When the sun brings us warmth
And trees and flowers blossom
As spring and summer come"
