Notes About The Poem

Butterfly

peacock butterfly
in wildflower touch and go ~
prancing in fragrance

sun's reached its zenith
the world has turned green again ~
with colors galore

Wow is that a real butterfly, amazing God's creatures, peacock painted wings, I'm taken aback! Lovely Haikus, dear Evelyn!

Yes, God's creatures are sources of endless wonder. There is even a bee called the 'rainbow bee,' whose body and wings are many different colors! Thank you so much for your appreciation, my friend. :)
