Butterfly

An inchworm has measured another May now descends into June's cocoon to emerge as butterfly July Fire crimson and emerald born from an ashen sky

Wonderful personification of the season change, Dale. The change is a lot like the metamorphosis of a butterfly. Ingenious:)

Beautifully crafted. This has the feel of the warmer seasons. A nice May, a bit warmer in June and then a blazing (fire crimson) July flutters in.
