FEVERFEW

A butterfly flits from yellow center to yellow center.

 Slurping in the joy of nectar hidden from unassuming faces;

While the grackle  hop skips pecking in the grass.

This grass need to be mowed.

When the mowing is done;

The butterflies will scallop along without stopping,

The feverfew flowers are no more.

Some call them wild dasies.

Enough rain, and they will for sure,

Popup again.

    Mow less! The bees and butterflies will be happier! ☺️

    Those are pretty daisies (weeds) . I'd like to have more butterflies, they stop at our place on their way from South America to the Midwest or further.

    Not many people know feverfew, which is such a useful and delightful plant. I love the use of happy yellow in this poem, Gillena.

    If people just moved a lot less it would be silent and filled with bees and butterflies.

    I like how the butterflies "scallop" along the feverfew flowers (and I learned a new name for daisies)!

    Now I'm wondering whether your feverfew or wild daisies are a different species from our oxeye daisies? They look similar--maybe larger?

    Oxeye daisies are another "wildflower" to enjoy when they're in the not-a-lawn and eat if they pop up in the garden.

      Sounds like a wonderful time insects Gillena. My friend!! 🙂 I invite you to come read my OLN offering tonight on my site — and to experience my wife Kathy’s profound love affair with nature, which is currently hampered by her newly discovered cancer. She goes into the UW Fred Hutch Cancer Center April 22nd for a multi-hour regimen of robotics surgery on her neck and throat area. Post Op will put her in ICU for Four days. Please keep Kathy, my love, in your thoughts. Thank you… ✌🏼🕊🫶🏼❣️
