Butterfly flies high
Cocoon lies on ground below
Symbol of freedom

Multi-colored leaves
Decked out in vivid display

Small seed lays dormant
Underneath thick winter snow
Hope springs eternal

One tiny gray mouse
One large hungry cat makes two
Only one remains

Blood red summer rose
It’s freshly opened blossom
Feasts on morning dew

A poet we call hoot
simple from the heart
an ageless art

Could it be a bunch of Poets?

Well written Hoot.

Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool:
But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet.
