Song of The Chrysiridia Rhipheus Butterfly No 14: AABB
Rare grandness and extravagant appeal,
Chrysiridia Rhipheus ideal,
classified initially as a moth,
butterfly reborn as man of the cloth,
females, too, together metamorphized
Papilionidae catergorized
found on the island east of Africa,
one of the world's largest, Madagascar,
on its wettest, forestry, windward sides,
as they flit the heights where the odd tree hides,
gift with six tails they'll lose in their lifetime,
still with lengthiest wings ease skyward climb,
with their marveled proportions, like those trees
blessed world as Grace spreads nature guarantees.
