Birds, Bunnies and Butterflies

A monarch and cone flower

In the wispy garden air
Comes many a creature
When the day is fair
Watching them is the feature

In and out they go
Landing occasionally to rest
They have such a flow
And the prettiest bird has a crest

It nice to leave some things so they can be fed
While the butterflies glide on by
The most beautiful is the cardinal, and it's red
While the flowers offer sanctuary for the butterfly

The viewing pleasure never seems to cease
It's such a joy that never fails
Especially as the sun rises in the east
As hopping by goes a cottontail

Bees and flies buzz all around
As the flowers pedals open to the sunny sky
The bugs make all kinds of sounds
least of all the dragonfly

The dragonfly hovers and flies
While the bunny nibbles on clover
The sight makes you give a happy sigh
While you pat your dog named Grover

This is quite a relaxing sight to see
Nature putting on a show
Sipping on your cup of tea
It's nice to take life nice and slow

The monarch butterfly comes to rest
Extracting nectar from a cone flower
This is a day when you are feeling your best
And the skies start to open up and give a shower

Quickly, you grab your good old mug
And neatly fold up the chair
The entire show felt like a great big hug
As drops of rain fall in your hair

You close the door and look outside
Gazing at the rain
Pleased with what nature can provide
Richer for the experience just gained

Inside you smile, thinking of nature that you just fed
While preparing your clean new sheets
You smile and snuggle in your bed
Closing your eyes, smiling, and thinking of your retreat
