Weekly Scribblings #73:  Butterflies and Moths
(posted by Rommy)


Daylight welcomes
butterflies as they flit
from flower to flower–
monarchs mimicking
stained glass, white,
yellow, and the beautiful
blue morpho who makes
its home in the tropical 
forests of Latin America.
A delicate dance
of wings brings joy
to mornings.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    Butterflies are magical. Bird songs in early morning, the first butterfly sighting …. ah, doesn’t get much better. Love you poem, Sara.

    That’s so true! I saw TWO swallowtails in my garden! I have so, so many flowers, but mostly insect pollinators, so they were such a wonderful sight. The first thing I do (after feeding the cats) is go out and see what’s happened in the garden overnight.

    Sooo really luscious, Sara. I love your summation, calling the butterfly’s flitting as a “delicate dance of wings.” That is a thought to be remembered when watching one flit next time.
