Butterfly Haiku

Butterfly Haiku



Much fun I would have

If I were a butterfly

On nice haiku tree.



Sure seems so little

Was born with beautiful wings

To attract a mate.



Had found a flower

Which was pretty as can be;

Like no other one.



Days start and are done

And butterfly that I love

Went to sleep in bed.



Wings beat back and forth

As he flies from here to there

With no fear or care.



One day he did die;

My beautiful butterfly;

Life had reached an end.
