Fragile wings in flight
Devoid of strength and might
Dignified flutter

Silent beauty floats
Amidst the blooming flowers
Tranquil summer dance

The beautiful serene dance of a butterfly...so free and light!  I love this one, Dennis!

That last line is wonderful. Mind you, the butterflies I saw this morning seemed more playful than dignified!

dennis: How incredibly you have captured the essence of summers delighful butterflies!
The master of Haiku has outdone himself once again! Pure perfection! Love, Sis< !signature-->

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Dennis~
Such lovely thoughts flutter about
within the grace of your Haiku.
You have a tremendous talent for this form.
