A small, white period
Deposited on a sole species
Punctuating the bottom of a leaf
Monarch egg
95% don’t reach adulthood
In the wild
Barring predation, it hatches in days
Smaller than a grain of rice
Shedding its skin
As it progresses through five stages
To a three inch, tubular zebra
Cute, crawling creature
Eating and pooping
Eating and pooping
When the time comes
Hanging upside-down, J shaped
It becomes a chrysalis
A plump lima bean, decorated with a golden crown
Miraculous Metamorphosis
Emerging crinkled and damp
Hanging to dry its wings
Hours later, ready to fly
Joining and defying the wind
Enhancing the same
Beautifying flowers
Making even me feel beautiful
Monarchs
