Butterflies of Every Shade

May the butterflies of this world return to us once more when the spring provides her heat we will no longer hide Eastern winds of far away lands flying in unknown shores their cellophane wings of light need to return and chide Once they adorned our many flowers here in Canada now they are a memory of yesterday's summer gaze I cling to the hope that tomorrow I won't need algebra to count the flutter of their wings, like yonder days I'll know them by the colors of their flight and groove that April has arrived with her rainy cascade all the trees will suspire as they soften their moves garnished once again, with butterflies of every shade I know that when the season wakes we are going to see Monarchs, European skippers, and frosted elfin too as the warmer shades and colors meld into the sea we will begin to spot the pupas, and butterflies anew.

Like rainbows, butterflies are a sight to behold, so I enjoyed your poem but what happened to the tongue of the butterfly in your photo? Aloha! Rico
