Purple butterfly
Bush grows weary with its load
Covered with gold wings

I love it when poetry captures us with visuals that run amok down neuropathways, and suddenly we are transformed into a vision of the past, where in a park I was suddenly covered by a few dozen monarchs and then into Mexico where upon opening a door a swarm of Giant White butterflies flew in front of me and disappeared into the jungle....that is the magic of poetry....thanks

Haiku are fun to write. I always call mine Horn Haiku. I am approaching 8,000 poems.

Very nice! Which reminds me I'm late trimming my butterfly bush this year (usually give it a hard trim in March).

This was lovely. I have seen the butterflies thick... lady bugs... swarm... and dragonflies...dance... Loved your words, each and every one. Ann
