John W. Knight - A Leppidoptera

Although it's flight is quite erratic
This dainty insect soars ecstatic
And though it seems to have no power
It effortlessly gains each flower
On wings so fragile and exquisite
Every blossom begs it's visit
And we entreat the question why
God created the butterfly

John W. Knight
