A Moment with a Butterfly

(Poem & Photographs © Ralph M. Ferraro 2012)

Frustration

Loop of the strap

Won’t pass thru

Stuck

Get out – walk

Outside – Stop

Be - one with experience

Butterflies flutter

Rapidly dancing in the air

Baby butterflies playing in the breeze

Colorful

Quick

Flying 

Landing 

Flying

Camera – lens short

Approach slowly

Image small

1/ 9^th of sensor

Patience – slow – steady

The moment – two

One with nature

Blending green on green

Sentient being – quiet flora

Bed of green separated from its source

Still a work of art

Crown of Brown, orange, gray

One abstract

Contrast – life on stone

Concrete – fragments -

Pebbles – shades of gray

Sentient being – Construct of stone

Still a work of art

Crown of Brown, orange, gray

Joy – smiling

Better mood – back to work

Small image – crop

Enlarge – sharp lens

Quality sensor

Image of beauty

To share with all

Butterfly living

Briefly Posing

Returning to the Dance

Thank you Dancing Butterfly

For gracing my day
