Haiku # 24: Each time the wind blows

A bit of artistic license here, as quite obviously this Painted Lady butterfly is not on a willow, but on an aster! Although it is late in the season, I saw three of these butterflies yesterday, along with three other species. These ones are migratory and should be moving southward.

Each time the wind blows,

The butterfly sits anew

On the willow.

A unique pov you used for the shot and it has worked beautifully.
I can't tell you how much I like the haiku, he was really observing nature.
