Haiku Amber Butterfly Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Haiku Amber Butterfly



Amber butterfly:
what may multi mottled marks
sing, sign, signify?

Upon insect's back
is this camouflage warning,
defence or attack?

An amber butterfly is winging by:
its mottled marks, what may they signify?

The camouflage upon the insect's back
is warning, or defence against attack.
