a jumble of wildflowers
across meadows and bowers
blooms atop green stems covered
with butterflies that hover
spotlighted under sunbeams
in vibrant flutters they teem
then I awake and it seems
my vision was just a dream.

I’ve been lucky to visit a few ‘Butterfly houses’ and to see a vast variety. The back yard seems to hold fewer and fewer… though I have plantings just for them… the butterflies.
I did read resently that in Mexico there were sightings of an increase in Monarch Butterflies.

I hope so, Jules. I’d hate to lose the butterflies.
