Waiting on a Butterfly’s Wings

Waiting for a Butterfly’s wings to return Spring.

 

For if their beats can call forth Tsunami’s,

surely they can put a zip in the warm season’s step?

 

Beat on, petite monarch, beat on

 

 

a sparrow’s last chirp

forecasted snow flurries

a week into spring

    Another awesome write, Frank. I think you need to stop relying on butterflies and sparrows. Delta to Miami. 🙂

    Spring can’t decide to advance or retreat. We have seen butterflies though. And the lizards are out in force again

    Spring never can seem to make up her mind about coming or not.

    Let’s hope the wing speeds up the warming. I gather the east coast is still pretty cold.

      True Jekyll and Hyde! Another forecast of flurries, but 70 degrees F by Friday! 😆

    Awe….I like the thought here, the sense of waiting for the small thing to cause a big consequence. Well done and thanks for posting to my prompt at toads!

    I saw a funny post the other day that this year’s winter is like a friend who keeps storming out of the room, angry, and then coming back in and yelling, “And ANOTHER thing!” 😉
    This is a great take on the prompt, Frank. I love that sparrow.

    I love this association with a butterfly’s wungs. Excellent haiku.
