Butterfly
Nothing is more delicate than a butterfly
Fluttering by toward a petal out-of-reach,
Sunbeams glistening off its iridescent wings
Butterflies are such beautiful, dainty things
The tangerine-orange of the monarch type
Is worthy of its special celebrated notice,
Visits every summer to my backyard garden
Where I point them out for everyone to enjoy
Watching them flying southward to meet
Me in the butterfly farms of Central America.
