Slow transformation
Metamorphosis complete
It soars on a gentle breeze
Summer butterfly
Viewing the world from above
Relishing first flight
Intoxicating pollen
Draws it dancing on petals
Oblivious of its past
A chōka: Summer Butterfly

This is really beautiful. I haven’t seen many butterflies this year. They are elusive like the fey. 🧚♀️

That is quite lovely! I like the idea of it dancing and being unaware of its past form.
