“I do not want to live in a world without butterflies. Without the intricate eyes and velvety wings, graceful splashes of color dancing on the breeze. Airy, delicate keepers of hope. Metamorphic symbols of change, growth, maturation. ... I do not want this world without the butterflies. I could not bear the wailing of flowers. --from 'A World Without Butterflies' (a poem)” PoetryNaturePoemNature QuotesSouthern WritersClimate Change QuotesEnvironmental PoetryQuotes About Butterflies Book:organic Source: organic
“I do not want to live in a world without butterflies. A place where they only exist in oil on canvas or silver trinkets on a chain, in language, legends we pass to the next generation of memory-keepers, a place where tiny ghosts have painted wings.” Inspirational QuotesPoetryClimate ChangePoetry QuotesNature QuotesSouthern WritersEnvironmental Poetry Book:organic Source: organic

“Midnight's Toll by Stewart Stafford As the lungs of our world burn, SS Nero crashes on plastic rocks, Kamikaze Captain Mann at the helm, Safety is beyond our salvation. As a loved one cruelly disfigured, By a crazed passerby in the street, The house we once loved as life, Now a distant, renovated stranger. Midnight's toll becomes due, The malicious piper paid in full, Only desolation, bones and dust, Our necropolis legacy to the future. © Stewart Stafford, 2022.
