Catarpillar to cocoon
Which death is greater?...

God made them just for our delight,
And painted each bright butterfly … 

The flowers of the insect world …
Those wondrous lepidopterae!




Lepidoptera = the order of butterflies and moths....

flowers transform
words in poetic lust
moth- butterflies
lepidoptera
pupating in a chrysalis
death of a caterpillar
reflections of the blue sky
in the clear dirty lake
censored emotions hide
under the four corners of an
aging memory hermited
constant flow negligi-
ble dirt...

obscurity


Obscurant poems
Complicated word puzzles
Several meanings
Give poetry a bad name
For those who like clarity 


Lepidoptera 
Do you mean butterfly?
No, caterpillar
Or maybe a swimming style
Something of short duration.


Thank you very much
I shall treasure this always
Your profundity
But I fail to understand
The point of obscurity...

Professor Pipi was an ornithologist
                    He kissed a girl with a curl and named her Just kissed
                                     She was a bard of Lepidoptera
                                    Wrote an epic on Zeus and Hera
                          Pipi read it and fainted and went to play whist

I looked out my window,
	At the gloomy grey sky.
When I saw a butterfly,
	Flitting blissfully by.

Unfettered by worries,
	Not shackled by woe,
A blithe Lepidoptera,
	And its aerial show.

The patter of raindrops,
	Fazed it not a bit,
Blithely it glided,
	On my window did sit.

Ever so nonchalantly,
	It fluttered its wings.
Not a care in the world,
	What a fortunate thing!

 If only my soul,
	Could a butterfly be.
Gallivant in my small world,
	Unburdened and free!...
