Yellow and black zebra long-winged
Butterfly, brought joy when I spied
Three-quarter century life and first I've seen
An internal joy that made my heart sing
One little packet of flower seed
Two plants survived my feeble attempts
From those plants I harvested with greed
Many more giant zinnia seeds to plant
Those zinnias have drawn butterflies
And moths all this hot, long summer
Some days when feeling down, mourning doves cries
Bring sadness and frowns then there's a butterfly
I look out through the kitchen window there
Fluttering and drinking nectar in large numbers
Turquoise hummingbird moth draws me away to plop
Upon the outside chair where dreamy thoughts come in large numbers
