Panama has lovely butterflies <br />And butterflies have lovely Panama; <br />Like the Blue-Patched Eyed-Metalmark <br />And the Three-Banded Crescent <br />And their sister legions who flit at Chiapas <br />In their overwintering fantasy; like the <br />Otherworldly blue of the Creon Skipper <br />And a Glasswing’s fragile dorsal fire, <br />The Banded Peacock hides other eyes, <br />As does the Milbert’s Tortoiseshell – <br />How it wears its ethereal pulchritude well! <br />Discover them here, or in your secret season’s heart, <br />For in these brightlove wingworlds <br />Such colors will an endless life impart.<br /><br />Chris Robideaux<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lepidoptera-of-the-isthmus-of-beauty/
