Butterfly Sing

Silver wings, Laced with blue. Fluttering in the breeze, Fresh and new. Gold specks, Traced around. Flying high, Without a sound. Made to fly, With its shiny wing. Butterfly fly, Breathe, sing.

Cabbage Butterfly

Frantic in its flutter, White on its wings. Clinging to the clover, Thistles and other things. Smelling sweet shrubs, Loving it's little larva. Ringing the red roses.

You spin a web, Of silver thread, And taunt me as- I go to bed... You inspire fear, Despite your size, Smother in cobwebs, The bugs and flies.
