Beautifully done haiku... dear Sara. There is a similar butterfly visiting my garden. The image and the poem are equally arresting !

Valsa, the butterfly was flitting around the four-lane road out at our busy shopping area here in our small town. Nothing out that way is blooming yet that I could tell. Crepe Myrtle lines the highway on both sides but it will be summer before it blooms. I hope that it found something to eat to sustain it until flowers and other plants begin to bloom. Sara K

Yes, Eileen. Anything beautiful is what we would love, but so many times a day passes without finding what is truly beautiful. Sara K

Sara B, I could see (in my mind) splattered butterfly everywhere, but it did not get destroyed. I was delighted it made it to the other side. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

Why, thank you, IE. Right across the busy four-lane highway, that is as busy as you can get in a small town. Sara K
