Haiku Morpho

caterpillars gorge metamorphosis begins translucent blue wings Written 4th August 2020 My favourite butterfly is the Blue Morpho with a wingspan of almost 21centimeters. I love the idea that butterflies are associated with spiritual transformation ~ their exquisite colours and translucent wings give them an almost ethereal persona as if a beautiful soul has been metamorphosed as it majestically soars towards another life… Contest Traditional Haiku – Nature Themed Sponsor Tania Kitchin N/A Poem Syllable Counter Results Syllables Per Line: 5 7 5 Total # Syllables: 17 Contest COMPLETELY YOUR CHOICE (4) Sponsor Brian Strand N/A

There is a butterfly farm in Stratford on Avon not far from me. They must have every type of butterfly there, an amazing place. Good luck Tom

That must be a most beautiful and tranquil place to visit Tom. To me they are truly spiritual as they float and flutter and bask in the sun. Hope you are basking too, haha... With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Hi Ann. I'm a fan of your insightful haiku. I might have to add syllable count confirmation on to my entry, but thought I'd stop in to mention that I think Tania requires the title to begin 'Haiku' then subject word. 'Morpho'
