It’s a long time since I did any syllable counting, but this image brought back such memories, I gave it a go. A butterfly cinquain for Colleen Chesebro’s photo prompt.

A child,

butterfly, I

followed the abandoned

track, slowly reconquered by green

nature

like a child’s wary creeping, head

lifted to leaf and bird,

slow as water

flowing.
