Theme: Butterflies

The Shrewd Butterflies

Multicoloured butterflies were flying

In my rose garden while I was walking

It was pleasant to watch them flying

In a group resembling ballet dancing

Some of them were sitting

On the petals of the roses sucking

Nectar and little ones among them resting

With the wings erect on blooming

Roses, a cat sitting

On the wall was watching the

Group of butterflies dancing

Suddenly the cat jumped and was trying

To catch one of the little butterflies resting.

Sensing danger, senior butterflies stopped dancing

Alerted others to start flying

Including the little ones resting.

All of them started flying

The cat also started running

With the hope of catching

At least one of them by stretching

Its head found its efforts failing

Butterflies started circling

Over the head of the cat and teasing

As if to say:

“We are not fools to be caught by you.”
