Two-tailed Swallowtail — Photo-Artistry by kenne

Butterfly

Flutterby,
Butterfly,
Floating flower
in the sky.
Kiss me with your
Petal wings—
Whisper secrets,
Tell of spring.

  1. Beautiful verses and fantastic photo of a Giant Swallowtail (Papilio cresphontes), the largest butterfly in North America, kenny! Thank you!
    However, it is not the Two-tailed swallowtail (Papilio multicaudata) which is a large swallowtail of western North America, “one of several species that have yellow wings with black tiger striping”. Its appearance is similar to the western, and eastern tiger swallowtails, but has narrower black stripes and usually two tails on each hindwing (rather than only one)” (From Wikipedia).
