In Earnest of a Butterfly

In Earnest of a Butterfly

 

 

 

I caught a fleeting glimpse today
of a monarch butterfly

there,

before my naked eye
he fluttered by

as though shopping for a daisy

I inquisitively stood  

as he came into view,
scrutinizing the idiosyncrasies of
his tapered wings

Magnificent was he,

levitating to loftier heights

 

like a dancing string

to the tail of a kite ~

I caught!

Words dance like the butterfly's "tapered wings" through the eloquent and lyrical verses. Nature's living garland. Love the kite imagery too. Beautiful!

every butterfly in the world should read this. your writing is so elegant and uncluttered

[Kelly Scheppers]

I totally agree - but will they linger long enough to listen? Thank you for the kindness of your words, Patrick. I deeply appreciate your visit!

[Patrick]

yes my decade(al) visit...doubt that's a word. They probably wouldn't linger due to the fear of being squashed. I would though.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...why, thank you!
