Butterfly Life & Entomological Society
Life's light is purely magical. Bright colors make us whimsical. Butterflies are a spectacle! I just adore bright butterflies. We entrance & dazzle the eyes. We can tell the truth from the lies. We’ve a unique process of life. In the air we float free of strife. Our lives touch hearts, just ask your wife. Our natures truly amazing! Our bright colors appear blazing. Our importance we are raising. Our life begins as a small egg. Like a light coded gene dream keg. Nature provides no need to beg. When we emerge, we’re called larva. Through our egg shell’s our jaws carva. We suck the leaf's vena cava. Soon we become caterpillars. We devour leaves like killers. We stuff ourselves with life's fillers.

I Inadvertently Moved Onto A Landfill
The realtor told me that the previous owners of my home were property managers who had been renting to college students attending the local community college. No problem. I was a college student not that long ago. I knew that there could be some bumps and bruises to the house but I wasn't all that worried about it. The property was large, lush and overgrown but, again, it was nothing I didn't think I could handle given enough time and effort.

Another Twig
No true image exists for this true story. When a poet decides to take a step, and walk, poetry pops out much later, and the direction is often of no consequence. Left may be a dead-end, right may be some other kind of hell, forward may look like death, and backward is almost impossible. There are no wings to fly up, but if there are some stairs, it is something. The same applies to going down, but nobody wants to go to the basement where the possibilities are darker like a moonless night, even if there is some artificial light. There are six possibilities to choose from at most.

Plants make people happy. It’s a common phrase that has taken hold in the plant world and for most it is an agreeable and indisputable fact. Fiskars takes this message to heart, which is why they have made it their mission to increase human happiness in and around the home. They know that much of this happiness revolves around plants, and they challenged me to examine what makes us so infatuated with these green beings and how they bring happiness and healing into our lives. Plants have rooted themselves in more than just our backyard gardens and living room jungles, and I have witnessed firsthand how much happiness plants have brought to our lives.

Cultivating Joy
Growing up helping Mom and Dad in our garden, I always thought there was something magical and empowering about working the ground, planting a seed and putting food on our table. Likewise, it is deeply spiritual to me to stare up a towering silver maple that I remember Dad putting in the ground as a sapling; the same tree I used to cut the suckers and water sprouts from so one main trunk would grow tall, straight and true.

The Bug Haters Club
I love the outdoors. It’s one of the sweetest parts of living in Canada. I *also* hate bugs. Even as a small child, I knew I had to find a way to make these two coexist. And as I got older, I found others like me ~ AKA bug detesting, nature enthusiasts.
