Black and white butterfly a rare single sighting
Idealized image caught upon film
Beautiful bounding insect drinking nectar 
Against such colorful contrast of orange Lantana
A wonderful shot snapped in a twinkle of the eye
Photo snapped by a trained eye and skilled cameraman
A picturesque scene to last a lifetime
Amazing photography work hangs upon the museum wall   


The butterfly flits about
Tasting each sweet nectar
Never remaining in one place
Reminder of the spectra

Black and white a beautiful sight 
Mixed colors like choices
First on roses then foxglove's blooms
Silent is their voices

Orange Lantana is not special
This butterfly is fickle
Wanting faithfulness receiving
Dishonesty's prickles
