Saleh Ben Saleh Poet Rhyme

The Common Butterfly

I am the queen of beauty the common butterfly, 
I spread my wings and flap away among the trees I fly.

My wings exhibit colours of green yellow and blue, 
red, orange and brown 
and even purple too.

I live in many countries and lands of different rule, 
high up in the mountains or fields behind the school.

But I like the warmer weather which makes me feel alive, for in the mighty brutal winter I will never survive.

I feed on flower nectar and liquid from rotting fruit, 
or a sip of forest water with a taste of sugary root.

My Latin name is lepidoptera known to many kings, 
lepidos meaning the scales and ptera meaning the wings.

I hope to be remembered  as I age and fade away, 
but my image in human minds is forever there to stay.
