If i'm not mistaken, i see a kitten/cat, NOT a butterfly. The cat must have REALLY gotten lost in the bush! Despite other comments...[ I like the poem]... not all would consider it a 'proper' haiku**, i think. [But it certainly gives a vision of the natural world ] ....hai·ku noun a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world. an English imitation of this.
