Cedar trellis... a butterfly just here is now on the clematis.
Link with Pine / Cedar.
[At the garden centre today, we walk down a path. Without warning a lovely little butterfly flutters out in front of us, flitting this way, then that way... up, then down. Suddenly, it lands on a clematis blossom. Wings swing gently up... swing gently down.]
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

great description!
I wonder what makes them flit around like that
there is a wonderful erratic formality to the flight of a butterfly
and you capture it here
