I've scribbled but one haiku with the word, "butterfly," and since I've opted to use each fly's call name. The top is that one, and the lower was written just moments ago... imagination.

listen...
among the silent flowers
a butterfly

dandelions
float on a new wind
this monarch

I really like that first one, magyar. What does Keats say about unheard music?

Emma Dalloway said...

I think both compel you to study the movement of the butterfly - but experience that movement in different ways. Quite wonderful.

J. Andrew Lockhart said...

yes, wonderful!

Ashi said...

both poems are good, I though like the first one best.

I have but one butterfly poem to my name; I need not wait for the insects to stir for inspiration;
we have yours!

nora said...

exquisite, Magyar. both gems.

Wasn't it a butterfly's flap which changed the weather here? Thanks for that: It is springtime now!

Best wishes
Ralf

They are both lovely; the technique is somewhat of the sedoka where the second verse emphasises the first

much love

Agree with these comments too!

I think I have something like this somewhere in Finnish:

In a forest path
a butterly
passing me
