Appreciation

The phrase Moments in the Park was originally used to describe short prose poems inspired by observations on walks through Horton Park and other outdoor spaces. Throughout 2016, I crafted Moments in the Park as a daily practice. I have continued to write Moments in the Park, just not as frequently as that first year.
Here you will find the prose poems as well as expansions telling the story of the inspiration, reflecting on a related theme, or digging deeper into learning about the subject.
I also hope that you will be inspired to create your own Moments in the Park, in words, images, sound, or whatever medium suits you. If you would like to share your creations, I would be happy to post them!

While waiting for the train after work yesterday, I was entertained by the antics of the cabbage white butterflies fluttering around the wildflowers growing between the road and an on ramp.

Cabbage Whites
A white fultter over roadside wildflowers
Another and another and another
Half a dozen in all
Two squabble
Whirling ball of frantic flapping
The defeated flops, flattened onto a mound of leaves
The victor continues to scold
Flitting, darting quick jabs
Little butterfly, tasty morsel for a hen to peck
Becomes the hen-pecker
