From a Distance

" From a Distance "

From a distance
to a great degree
as seen on the green

well past peeling
sparse furnishings
perched perfectly

housed in refineries
of teasing
natural beauties

while dainty sulphers
feed on varieties
of sneezeweed
in the family of pinks
such as chickweed

along major
reenacted invasions
into open spaces
for mightily pugnacious
mottled grays

in the early stages
of their name's sakes
loosely labeled,
"annoying the neighbors"

on the strength
of trendy ubiquities
becoming dauntingly familiar

like brush and ink
elegant gatherings
with the fluidity and virtuosity
of Immaculate Green Hairstreaks...
