Close up view of beautiful butterfly on red rose isolated on blue — cut  out, spring - Stock Photo | #190771258

A handsome butterfly hovers over my prized rose bushes. How brightly he flutters in the early light of day. The blossom on which he settles is the first virginal bloom of May. She is newly opened and most fragrant. As if blushing, she receives her suitor - a black butterfly with wings whose tips blend divinely with the hue of her velvet crimson beauty. Philandering nature when a butterfly steals the nectar of the rose, then just goes! Feb. 18, 2022 for the E Forms- Etheree - Poetry Contest Constance La France Syllables checked by Howmanysyllables.com Two etheree poems composing 110 syllables

"Philandering nature" indeed Andrea! This is so visual one can almost touch the butterfly and smell the fragrant rose. Wonderful poetic story of their brief romantic encounter - friendship for a season. Congratulations on your win! Blessings of roses and butterflies to you!

Beautiful poem and photo. Butterflies are fickle, off to Daisies petals without a second glance back. Poor Rose....but here's another suitor...a bumbling giant, he'll bee back! <3

Well said and done! Enjoyed! Whether butterfly, pigeon, or bunny, the females always appear to not notice the male humping away, or his subsequent departure, so sticking around does appear "unnatural" .... Aloha!
