Butterflies and Bees

Flutter by butterfly 🦋

silently whispering sweet nothings

in the souls of the flowers 🌺 which

adorn my garden.

Your colours and patterned symmetry

fascinate the garden birds as

you float by; even the bees 🐝

doff their caps as they cross your path.

Precious pollen gathered by pollinators,

such vital work but often taken for granted.

Gardeners everywhere annually sow🌱

bee friendly plants that benefit butterflies too

Thank you for stopping by the garden

as you fulfil your seasonable timetable

Lockdown has helped nature in so many ways

we offer you gratitude and the same to our humble bumbles.
