If a Butterfly Alights
Be ready for a blessing
Jun 20, 2021
If a butterfly
alights on your upturned face
Oh! What a blessing!
I saw this photo of the cat with the butterfly on his nose, and this haiku leapt into my mind. I guess this would be an example of ekphratic poetry, composing a poem based on a painting or scene. Whatever it is, I hope this delightful photograph and my impulsive haiku bring you a smile!
