Preface

There have been many books written about butterflies but this one is special as it takes you through all aspects of the monarch’s life, including why their lives are under threat. If you are not already a lover of butterflies, you will be, by the time you finish this book.

I’ve written this book because I am a true lover of butterflies and wished express that love through my writing. This poem is for the monarch butterfly:

The Monarch Butterfly

Oh what a piece of art the majestic monarch butterfly is

Thrilling to watch, with beautiful bold wings fluttering in the sky

Joyously perform their duties pollinating from flower to flower

So slight, humble, and delicate but blessed with vast power

Hard times they have going through the four stages of their short life

From egg to caterpillar that eats all day, to a chrysalis full of strife

Then an orange beauty spreads her wings

Even though facing a dwindling population

October brings forth a mission of great effort

As they slowly, navigate a migration flying southwest

Hibernating in a mild winter instead of a death with no pardon

Springtime urges the mothers-to-be to find a milkweed garden

And return home to lay eggs for a new generation of butterflies

But could this generation die with all milkweeds?

How can these pollinators keep the earth green like a park

If we keep stealing habitat from the monarch?
