With a smooth movement
the light-weighted beauty glides past
those hunting charmers,
perches on cattle
and moves away
causing a mild sensation
The butterfly settles on
the leaning flower
lapping up the nectar
before any livid bird
could make a claim

They are such amazing creatures. You’ve captured them well…

Thank you, Soumya:)
Very hard to describe – the fragile, light movement, and you made your butterfly float – carefully and beautifully…and nice ending! I see it almost as a little jab at yourself, the poet there, with her poem controlling her, faster than her, because your poetry, dear nightlake, is usually written by the bird in you!
the butterfly floating – that is a very beautiful interpretation..and you are so very kind in your comments:) thank you so much for that.. well, I can think and draft faster than I speak:) Thank you once again for your encouraging and motivating words:)
Beautifully written about butterfly, you captured the image of them perfectly
Butterflies always hold a fascination…Thank you so much:)
