Pretty Butterfly (haiku)
Pretty butterfly
Flying low among the plants
Ends in a Cat's mouth
Wings flutter wildly
Hanging between two sharp fangs
Like a black moustache

Author's Note
This morning I saw one of the cats running with a black butterfly in its mouth. I was surprised. The butterfly was trying to free itself. I have observed the cats chasing butterflies that flits around the house when they sit on the grass. This morning one of them finally caught a butterfly.

Wow! That is rare indeed. These are great little haikus, summer. The pivot is riveting in each one.

Thanks dear Ahavati🌹❤ it was my first time to see it. I was surprised and tried to stop the cat to let the butterfly out but it ran away.

This is a creatively subtle snapshot of the beauty and fragility of life and cycles of nature for me. Great work.

Dear S,
One forgets the brutality of nature amidst its beauty. Odd how well it can be hidden in plain sight. Funny, I didn’t know cats ate butterflies. Very well penned my friend! H🌷

Yes dear H, Cats have that nature even if they are domesticated. Once I saw a cat ate a small snake. They also chase birds and eat them when they get a chance. Thank you for stopping your comments. 🌹❤
