the mystical, magical butterfly
holder of dreams, keeper of secrets
lives each day for the moments
leaving simply no time for regrets
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. ~Rabindranath Tagore
Morpho Butterfly: Mexico, South America and Central America
the Morpho Butterfly
a brilliant sight unforeseen
shimmers in day’s light
metallic shades of blue and green
The Owl Butterfly: Rainforest of Central and South America
the Owl Butterfly
donning eyespots big and bold
thrives in the rainforest
ne’er fearing Winter’s cold
Monarch Butterfly: State insect of Alabama
the Monarch Butterfly
well known to mankind
Alabama’s state beauty
not at all a rare find
Kamehameha Butterfly: State insect of Hawaii
the Kamehameha Butterfly
with its rare richness of red
floats gracefully in the air
resting in a tropical bed
Walk in the meadow, kneel down in quiet repose; let the daisies hug your knees and the butterfly kiss your hand. ~catnipoflife
