Black and white butterfly a rare single sighting Idealized image caught upon film Beautiful bounding insect drinking nectar Against such colorful contrast of orange Lantana A wonderful shot snapped in a twinkle of the eye Photo snapped by a trained eye and skilled cameraman A picturesque scene to last a lifetime Amazing photography work hangs upon the museum wall The butterfly flits about Tasting each sweet nectar Never remaining in one place Reminder of the spectra Black and white a beautiful sight Mixed colors like choices First on roses then foxglove's blooms Silent is their voices Orange Lantana is not special This butterfly is fickle Wanting faithfulness receiving Dishonesty's prickles
