Second Place

One dainty butterfly is barely audible; but when a few million flap their  wings, they create a magnificent sound. ?? ?? ??

Patterns in Nature

 
There a patterns in nature that are there if you look,
         for example butterfly wings, the spirals on a leaf;
snowflakes that mirror perfection, the fronds of a fern,
              in flowers like the daisies with a central axis.

Undulating waves of oceans and seas touching shore,
          the ever ripples on a pond, stream, river of a lake;
the stripes of the zebra, or the spots on leopards,
               and the change of time and seasons.

And let us not forget those meandering rivers,
           and forest paths winding through the green;
and tree branches that reach out to touch,
                  and all those bird songs and musical beats.
