Butterfly
flower to flower
beauty hard to see, blinking
grey hairstreak, flitting
At just about an inch tall, the grey hairstreak is difficult to appreciate fully, because it rarely sits still for more than a second. I feel lucky that this one must’ve really been enjoying this daisy. It gave me just enough time to snap a pic before flitting off again.

Butterfly Requiem Haiku
garden fairy sprite
delicate wings of color
killed for a story
monarch butterfly
a very short, fleeting life
majestic beauty
