Carolyn Devonshire Poet Tanka

Winged Wonder

radiant spectrum
what is this flying wonder
attention captured
a chrysalis yesterday
now winged creature emerges

“my pollen’s sweetest,”
petunia attempts to lure
throughout the garden
blossoms seek her brief visits
the butterfly flutters by

to her fans, she bows
bestows butterfly kisses
captivating all
beauty flies, accepts applause
enjoying admiration
