Butterfly Poems

A Heart That Has Lost The Will To Sing,  

Is Like A Butterfly With A Broken Wing. 

The Mourning Cloak Butterfly

There is a little butterfly,

That lives the whole year through.

You've probably never seen him,

So you never really knew.

This is a special butterfly,

Whose body does not freeze.

He sits while the sun warms the earth,

Before he is set free.

He brings us joy filled with hope,

That soon Spring will be here.

Look about you when you are out,

For he may be fluttering near.

He is winter's butterfly,

Dressed in browns, 

Trimmed in gold,

What a beauty to behold.

So if someday you happen to see,

A butterfly fluttering ever so free,

Among the snow capped bushes below,

The Mourning Cloak Butterfly you will behold.
