Dazzling for sure, I love the bright flowers as well. The butterflies return shortly after spring flowers chase away the winter blahs. Thank you for the haiku.

This is very nice, either way it looks like a winner to me. Beautiful imagery, I think this will do very well in the three line poem contest. Thank you for sharing.

Quite so. All haiku are three liners but only some three liners are haiku, and this is one of those. It will be judged against other three liners and not as an haiku, so we must wait and see what transpires. It has the criteria of both forms very adequately.

Yes, I recognize the summary in the last line, This is a true Haiku. Each word, carefully defines, the butterflies and their ascent into our world of 'middle days'. The ending is wonderfully put, and summarises well, the sheer beauty of butterflies in our midst. Thank you for sharing your talent for seeing with a poet's second set of eyes.
Take care, Jesse

"Dazzling Butterflies", is short, succinct and very much to the point. Each word is woven with the golden threads of truth. To me, this a six, but unfortunately I only have fives left. I look forward to seeing your next post.
