To celebrate National Poetry Month this April, Haiku Heights is hosting a month-long Haiku writing journey. This journey will take Haiku lovers through the alphabet one day at a time. Today’s letter is B and the prompt word is Butterfly.
Watching butterflies
Their beauty borne on the breeze
Children barely breathe
Butterfly in captivity 
Butterfly in the Forest of Dean

Perfection in your words. My husband I were married very close to a butterfly house. We visited after our vows. Adults and children alike were in such awe of them. Whispers seemed too loud ♥
