Song of The Blue Morpho Butterfly No 9: AABB

China has two martial arts-styled Mantis,
--just a form. A Morphinae enchants us,
a mammoth butterfly, a pearlescent
spirited blue, bewitching, heaven-sent.
Menelaus blue morpho's induced hues
are by the wing's backs wee mirrors that cues
acquaintances of its presence. Aura
is genteel though acts like a Pandora
for its natural foe, the Jacamar  
that shares its habitant courses. All-star
of its genres ingrained constitution
made weak, threatened by human expansion
that misstates the authentic ranking of
the whole world down, to our floaters of love.
