Beautiful Butterfly

Beautiful Butterfly

Butterfly, the most beautiful,
No other insects can match
The explosion of bright colour
When from a cocoon it does hatch.

Metamorphosis, a process in action,
Such transformation's taken place
From the caterpillar, drab and brown,
Into a colourful spectre of grace.

Butterflies, with wide open wings
Once earth-bound, now in full flight,
Such a glorious work of nature
Brings a vision of sheer delight.

A variety of all shapes and sizes,
Vivid colours, so many to tell.
Watching this eye-catching beauty
Will have you cast in it's spell.

Excellent and profound. You have that unique skill of beating the peak. This is a wonderful stuff, always beating our expectation. Can wait to jump to your next page.

yes Daniel, I agree, such pretty dainty harmless creatures. Need to grow more butterflying plants to encourage them. Vivien
