Butterfly flits
Under my sprinkler’s reach,
Wisps up and out and
Down again. Thunder
Rumbles mutteringly. Butterfly
Twists and lifts, seemingly
Crazily, settles on a dead flower head,
Wing-closed, enjoying the sprinkler-mist.
Thunder baritones closer. Wind whooshes
Artificial rain all over me as patched blue
Skies wink with hidden glee! Lightning stabs
Air, thunder applauds, noisily! Then, Now is
Shushed, for minutes... One last thunder, throatily
Trebles away. No monsoon yet, for arid land. Even
The butterfly has left.

| I can see this beautiful scene played out in a backyard while I absent-mindedly enjoy the dance of the butterfly! This is great!! |

Butterflies are hardy little insects that love the rain is much as we do. I hope you get the monsoon soon for there won't be food for the butterfly anymore.

| ...delicately deafening... ominously fragile... such juxtaposition... such an evocative study in contrasts... a poignant palimpsest of resonant images ringing with the purity of an innocent experienced eye... I echo Vivian... an impressive imagination!! |
