Butterfly’s Home

Milkweed plant in morning's light,
Butterfly's home, pure delight.
In every leaf, in every stem,
Nature's beauty, nature's gem.
Through your growth, beauty's spread,
Nature's whispers, gently led.
Soft and bright in dawn's beam,
Milkweed's charm, softly seen.
In every garden, in every place,
Nature's wonder, nature's grace.

Pollinator’s Friend

Milkweed plant in sun's embrace,
Nature's touch, pure and grace.
In every leaf, in every fold,
Life's fine touch, softly told.
Through your growth, beauty's shown,
Nature's love, softly grown.
Light and free in morning's glow,
Milkweed's charm, gently show.
In every garden, in every space,
Nature's wonder, nature's grace.

Nature’s Beacon

Milkweed plant in garden's light,
Nature's beacon, pure delight.
In every leaf, in every fold,
Nature's beauty, softly told.
Through your growth, beauty's spread,

Soft and lush in morning's glow,
Milkweed's charm, softly show.
In every garden, in every place,

Milkweed's Merriment

A milkweed plant so tall,
Loved to laugh and play with all.
It'd tickle the butterflies' feet,
And laugh, "Oh, what a treat!"
The monarchs would flutter and cheer,
At the milkweed's playful steer.
With each laugh, joy would spread,
In the milkweed's leafy bed.

Milkweed's Melody

A milkweed plant loved to sing,
In the garden, it'd make music ring.
"La la la!" it'd hum with cheer,
As the bees and bugs drew near.
They'd join in the milkweed's tune,
Under the soft, glowing moon.
With each note, laughter would grow,
In the milkweed's musical show.

Monarch's Haven

Amidst the fields where milkweeds grow,
Milkweed whispers, in meadow's flow.
Leaves that flutter in summer's breeze,
Milkweed's whispers, in nature's ease.
Seeds that sail on autumn's breath,
Milkweed plant poems, in prairie's depth.
Amidst the goldenrod and daisy's bloom,
Milkweed whispers, in field's perfume.
Each pod that bursts, a monarch's grace,
Milkweed plant poems, in prairie's embrace.
In the meadow's embrace, their whispers sway,
Milkweed's sanctuary, in nature's play.
