Fiery Days and Colors of July



Oh Joy for Monarchs!
rain rain never went away
early flights detoured


For now dry hot days
timing right for egg planting
Milkweed stands ready


A wild garden smiles
no mimic here true monarch
soars as no other


Tired and tattered
strength to fulfill destiny
select plants of choice


Promise of new life
mother fastening last egg
flies away to die


A Painted Lady
tiny darts of fiery heat
Echinacea sweet


Sun moon rise and set
daylilies open and close
life is a moment
