Garden Overtones
Gay visitors invade the bordered path;
Some rest on ageratum's downy blue
Some tap the, honeyed dew
Deep in Dresden cups;
A few
Float lazily through shafts of summer sun.
Yellow ones, brown ones,, bronze and midnight blue
Silver stippled, gold edged, In rainbow rendezvous.
One golden day The Artist
Gathered grace and luster and light,
And made in:endless surprise,
Unbelievable
Butterflies.
-THEODOSIA E. Fenner
My Mom spent several hours chasing a butterfly around my garden in between picking crops. I thought this was appropriate.
