Days of the Butterflies

#1: Sulfurs of Outstanding Yellow

Sulfur butterflies are full of bright color

The color of sulfur, but not it's foul odor

Sulfur butterflies are outstanding yellow

But unlike sulfur, they are alive and they are mellow

The sulfur I saw had an under-wing

Of a darker shade of yellow and two black dots

And when it's wings spread, I saw bright yellow

With black on the edges, I like it a lot!

Dark black, bright yellow, go together well

Bright against dark, contrast, a fact

A beautiful yellowish creature overall

Doesn't smell of sulfur, I like it a lot!

Flies over fields of roses and clover

I like to watch it fly, just like that!

This butterfly is unique in shape and color

I love this pretty yellow butterfly

And it's pretty color, yes, I like it a lot!

I found this one on a rose

Hiked a trail through an endless meadow

I stopped in the roses, captured by a flash of yellow

Then said “Hi, there! Hi, there, little fellow”

Yes, I like it a lot! Sulfur of outstanding yellow

I thank God for being able to encounter butterflies

For he made these creatures for boys' and girls' eyes

For he made these creatures for mens' and womens' eyes

For he made these creatures, enabled them to fly

I hope I encounter another one sometime!
