Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

I Love That Bug

In Deutschland they're called Schmetterling 
Mariposa down in Spain,
And although they're called, by different names
They're really quiet the same 
Borboleta sounds like fun to say
and Farfalla twist my tongue  
But when they're seen in France
They're simply Papillon
But in the Scottish hills
Where they migrate with desire 
They call them  Dalán-dé
When trans-lated mean "Gods Fire"  
No matter what you call them
When their beauty meets my eye
I have to take a moment
To enjoy the Butterfly
