Butterfly haiku

 I have not written a haiku in a long time.  I thought I came up with one this morning until I remembered that it was 5-7-5 , not 7-5-7.  ;)

BUTTERFLIES FLUTTER BY ME

MAKING ME HAPPY

BRINGING A SMILE TO MY FACE

So I rewrote it:

A SMILE ON MY FACE

BUTTERFLIES FLUTTER BY ME

MAKING ME HAPPY

I used to write haiku's a lot. I guess life got busy.

 Last month, I was able to visit my friend in Missouri. She and her husband and My husband and I have been friends for 50+ years. Our children were in church nursery together. Now, one of my children is a grandparent. Time flies.

She made this tote bag for me. She saw the butterflies and thought of me.

Mary also gave  this to me. She had her neighbor (artist) to paint it. It shows my seven-sister roses

 and, of course, a butterfly. It sits at my back door. It's made of concrete.

Today, we were planting flowers in a wild area of our yard. I am trying to let it go back to nature to attract butterflies etc.  I saw a dried-up leaf on the ground. Then it moved and there was no wind. So, I got closer and realized it was a moth that looked like a leaf.

Later, I went back to it to see if it was there. I realized it must have been dying or something. Because it was dead now and ants were feasting on it. I am glad I got photos of it. My husband told me that it was all just part of nature. :)

 

 Today, Microsoft says it is World Book Day. So ... I just went to my books and made all the eBooks free for 3 days, starting tomorrow. Now is your chance to get a copy if you missed the other giveaways!! Books by Belinda Jo Adams

 This is a picture I took at a friend's house in Tennessee a few years ago.

I think I need to get back to Butterfly Musings. :)

I'll try. But life gets busy.
