Sunday Muse -- and I Cried

 


Dolly Cried 


Why is that big tear 

Did I stick you with a pin 

Did I take you from your drink 

Did I take your toy away 


Please don't cry 

Is it something I have said 

Or something I haven't said 

Maybe something I have done 


Bigger than these 

Something I have not done 

Did I forget your birthday 

Or our anniversary 


When ladies cry 

Sorry if I made you cry 

I hate that, shouldn't happen 

(Tough being in the dog house) 


Dolly Cried

Weekly Scribblings -- Waystation


    A Monarch Waystation Garden 

Last spring's early happy sighting 
Group of scouts, Monarch butterflies 
Looking to find some Milkweed plants 
Twelve other varieties too 

Leaves to attach their fertile eggs 
Leaves for caterpillars to eat 
Flowers whose pollen insects love 
sustenance for the family 

Mating, baby growing ends,  
they're ready to go north or south 
North to stay cool, south to be warm 
A pleasant stay this stopover 

Seeing and knowing Nature's treat 
Sets folks planting flowers plants 
Where Monarchs recreate and play 
A Monarch Waystation Garden
