By Any Other Name

In Spain, it’s mariposa.
In Poland, you’ll hear motyl.
One says borboleta in balmy Brazil.

Pulali are a plenty around exotic Nepal. 
“Come here pretty farfalla!” in Italy, 
You would call.

Hawaiians sight pulelehuas 
While strolling in the sand.
A child would chase a chocho if home is in Japan.

No matter how one says or spells it,
I always breathe a sigh,
Every time I behold a beautiful butterfly.
