Butterflies spread colours left and right amidst the stark barren branches of trees stripped bare. A last reminder of good things before Winter sets in, Butterflies here are a kind of Ink-Blot psycho-test for the beholder.

An unusual riot of colours, those butterflies

Remnants of spring and seasons two

Oh, how the good Time flies

Summer and rains have left too.

As winter sets in, edging out autumn

Withering leaves and branches stark

Reveal dazzling butterflies rather solemn

Haunting last flowers on skeletons dark.

Bright yellow dots and optical black spots

From Giant Monarchs to orange sparklers

Leopard butterflies scatter picture blots

An Ink-Blot Psycho-Test with colour sprinklers!
