    What a cool scene, with the beauty of the ornament in the midst of a winter holiday. Very nice haiku, thank you so much.

    Plastic butterfly, eh?

    This gives me a lot to think about- perhaps you didn't mean for it to be like this, but this seems like a bit of a representational poem. One in which one simple thing has a lot of different connotations and represents a lot of other different things.

    Luck in contest!
