MY ODE TO A BOLD MONARCH

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 38

today
a butterfly
boldly came to me
a stunning black blue monarch
so proud he was for me
him to see
My eyes caressed his colorful beauty
for I know not how long
he posed, preened and twitched
basking it seemed in my startled
admiration
then as regal as  the monarch he was
he like a mythic Brigadoon
softly from me
drifted away................
