    The Butterfly Year in Haiku Richard Stewart Under the deep snow And beneath daggers of ice New life is waiting. Late February From a pine's darkness A calm day with warming sun One red admiral seeks sun The first butterfly. And the last nectar. Out of long darkness Juicy chunks of plum A comma with widespread wings A dripping pile on the lawn Soaking up the sun. Feeding butterflies. Prefers hedge garlic Two feeding commas Warmed by rays of evening sun On fermenting blackberries Roosting orange tip. Out of the wind's edge. On such a dull day On grey paving slabs Even a single small white Wide wings of small tortoiseshells Brightens the landscape. Basking in the sun. From a coal blackness Flying to the feast To this large eyed radiance Vanessids land on the first Peacock's open wings. Sunlit buddleia. Along the leaf spine A bright swallowtail Brimstone caterpillar rests Wings luminous in the sun Green on green unseen. Be still and thankful. Green hairstreaks emerge In the bramble glade With a scent of yellow gorse Large whites glide like admirals Heavy on the breeze. Through shafts of sunlight. Two peacocks spiral Up and up into blue sky Drifting with white clouds. It is pleasing that after I wrote that I wanted to see us achieving even more, the Upper Thames branch continues to be increasingly busy and successful, so, thank you to the members who came forward and allowed us to expand our efforts ever further. One of the areas where we could still use some help is in response to requests for us to attend fairs and shows.
