Poetic Form: Crown of Sonnets: Couplet
Inspired: 2024 January 23
Image: Menelaus Blue Morpho by Picture Insect

The Famous Blue Morpho - Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory

China has two martial arts-styled Mantis,
--just a form. A Morphinae enchants us,
a mammoth butterfly, a pearlescent
spirited blue, bewitching, heaven-sent.
Menelaus blue morpho's induced hues
are by the wing's backs wee mirrors that cues
acquaintances of its presence. Aura
is genteel though acts like a Pandora
for its natural foe, the Jacamar  
that shares its habitant courses. All-star
of its genres ingrained constitution
made weak, threatened by human expansion
that misstates the authentic ranking of
the whole world down, to our floaters of love.

William this is such a wonderful poem about the beauty and fragility of the Menelaus blue morpho butterfly and the threat it faces from human expansion. Your use of descriptive and vivid language to bring the butterfly to life, such as "a mammoth butterfly, a pearlescent spirited blue," and "bewitching, heaven-sent." Enhanced even better this poem.

It's ideal that I duly take 'time' into consideration of those noted highlights, with great care. I tried to maintain an operable me when I posted the Crown Sonnet early yesterday, and then the Blitz late last night. Mobility remains a challenge and functionality and my abilities remain highly suspect as I frequently blackout. Thank you, Lasaad. Aloha, William
