(Late Summer)
On the coneflower,
A yellow swallowtail’s wings quiver
In the breeze.

We’re seeing fewer and fewer butterflies every year. Hope that trend doesn’t continue! Thanks for sharing this beautiful hokku with us, Donna!

A lovely hokku! I record butterflies in my garden throughout the season and this year there are fewer than previous years, even though I’ve added more pollinator friendly plants!
