Butterfly 4 - The Fascinating Butterfly & The Cat Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Butterfly 4 - The Fascinating Butterfly & The Cat

Rating: 4.4


The cat is fascinated!
Stares in wonderment,
Still and silent,
With amazing rounded eyes,
With golden brown hair,
At a pretty butterfly
A rare black and white combination with
An ochre yellow border,
so elegantly shaped,
So artistically decorated,
Searching for a flower
In the grassy bower!

The cat watches in a trance!
The cat debates: "Should she pounce on the butterfly?
Or just chase her around for fun!
Or Should she quietly watch its enchanting movements
Sucking the honey from the flowers? Indeed!
Sensational play of nature's allurement! "

I wonder! Who is more fascinating?
The butterfly or the cat?
I am at a loss! For I love them both!
They are both fabulous creations of God!
Amazing lives that gladdens your heart,
Attractive beings of this beautiful planet!

wonder there are in the cat's walking in the cat's diamond eyes in the cat's quarrelsome voice at night in the cat's friendliness with human and more wonder there are in the natural embroidered wings of butterfly in the flying moment in the sitting moment on flowers in opening and closing time of its wings silently all through both are the wonderful part and parcel of nature

They are both fabulous creations of God! Attractive beings of this beautiful planet! This is an extraordinary observation- A minute study of what; s going on in the cat's mind. 'The cat watches in a trance! ' because the butterfly is 'so elegantly shaped, So artistically decorated'. I've no doubt that the poem is a true copy of the action that has been captured by the camera in the graphic plus the feel that the poet has brought in. Thanks, Geeta ji.

Beautiful muse. The quest of cat or winged creature Is never going to end But the quiet feel of the hour holds Every beautiful expression one feels As the cat exchange glance with her Entwining bonds unseen That is beyond understanding. Beautiful words and beautiful feel of going back to nature. Lovely words ma'am.
