Southern Blue Swallowtail

Butterfly floating
Southern Blue Swallowtail Lays
Love on Meadow Rue

Soon caterpillars
Stinking like skunk munch and munch
Meadow Rue for  lunch

The air is filled 
Miniture blue sailing off
To mate for their day

A wonderful summer picture! Not summer without butterflies. We saw none at all in England last summer, but we only had 1 day of summer! They are coming back now though - isn't nature resilient?

Sara, I must say this was an exciting Haiku. I think you are one that can master any form of poetry in short order. Thank you for the read. Love, Carol
