A Cycad Blue (Chilades pandava pandava) butterfly I spotted at the Singapore Botanic Gardens inspired this poem.
A Cycad Blue perches
Wings folded
On a palm leaf
Spotted speckles
Spread finely across its wings
Like a work of art-
Finished with
a dot of sunset orange on its edges.
Such is the beauty of nature
God’s own handiwork
Your blog is great! and such beautiful photos. How did you get the photos to be so clear? I took a few of one tree and they were not clear and had a muddy look.
Thank you so much! 🙂 Congratulations on your new blog. I use a Sony NEX C-3 camera for all my pictures.
It’s a beautiful poem. I love the line especially ‘a dot of sunset orange at the edges’ – it conjures up such a lovely image!
Lovely photo and lovely poem. 🙂
Thank you so much 🙂
Lovely picture and butterfly !!!!
