The Brown Butterfly

The brown butterfly,
Hides upon a dying tree,
Hoping the monarchs won't see him.

Because they tease and make fun,
Who can blame the brown butterfly,
For wishing he was like them.

As the others fly past,
In a bright whirl of colours,
He hids himself; darkened and dim.

For he is the unwanted brown butterfly,
Hiding on the dying tree limb.

    For he is the unwanted brown butterfly,

    Almost makes me wish the teasing Monarchs would
    (because of their showiness) be noticed by some
    butterfly eating creature. Thanks for the entry.
    Good luck.
