I think I addressed most. I have included a spoiler, which is an earlier version before I went all metaphorical. I like the ending on that one better.

Errand and chore
always early risers,
clamor, to start my day.
Hard to hear,
the sun in my ear,
“sit with me and,” Seems like the Sun would be the king, so he might command you to sit and observe supposed to be more of an accomplice
see the reagent, orange and black I actually like your typo, I knew you were referring to a butterfly, go figure.... but regent is better![]()
flutter by in parley
with the wind.
admire the Huntsman done his nightly prowls,
smug in his way, chided by
blue vested jester,
perched on high.
be intoxicated by perfumed maidens,
doffed in star-white bonnets
self-impressed with their foliage.
pity the chitinous footmen tending every need,
dutifully indifferent to the pageantry.
Hear the courtesans’ whispers under verdant eaves
as the choir sings their morning song. what animal/natural thing is the choir? I'm guessing birds, but you could be more specific here
Were I king of wood and fern, again with the king business, maybe you could respond to his (the sun) biding you to ignore the clamor
I’d bide Needs of the Day
await your turn.
