Dear Dainty Butterfly

Dear dainty little butterfly flitting about in erratic flight. I get but a fleeting glimpse of thee, tho' 'tis such a delight, To see thee wafted by the winds as you flit about my lawn! (Since you never settle down I wonder what you feed upon!) How I look forward to thy daily visit with great anticipation. Thou art one of the most exquisite creatures in God's Creation! I marvel at thy aerobatic skill and I think it is my learned hunch, That you are so adept at this so as not to become a falcon's brunch! Don't get snatched by a mean old bird when darting to and fro! Please watch thy six, little buddy, for I would miss thee so! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired Entry for Skat A's "Write About Butterflies" Contest
