I’ll bite! LOL
In my perfect yard
There are no hungry insects
Only gorgeous blooms.

Butterfly
Whats in those flowers that you sip,
That makes you seem so tipsy?
We cant tell if youre coming from,
Albany or Poughkeepsie,
Or even if youre going to,
One place or the other.
The way you travel seems to be,
Youre looking for your mother!
Just as a toddler wanders round,
With no fixed course in sight,
The butterfly flits both here and yon,
In most erratic flight.
It seems so inefficient,
Why cant you just hold still?
And then you stop, and fold your wings,
Upon a daffodil.
You daintily step forward,
I havent touched a drop!
And just as sober as a Judge,
You spread your wings and FLOP!
And Flip, and Flap, and bounce.
A goonie in reverse.
How can you be so comical?
I know you dont rehearse.
And yet you get where you must go,
God knows how you can do it.
Perhaps the use of folded hands,
And faith just leads you to it.

Very nice, gardengirl. Thanks for starting our day off with this haiku.
Good morning, Amy and friends! Anyone want to haiku today?
