Butterflies And Grapes Poem by Pleasant Dabbs
Butterflies And Grapes
You see the dreaded caterpillar
A violet's enemy devourer
I see the ensuing butterfly
Whose proboscis sipped the nectar dry
The first has vision incomplete
The second has a view that's sweet
The first's concern is losing money
The second looks forward to the honey
I have a grapevine overgrown
Over the fence and tree it's flown
"Cut-it-down! " you say; I say "Please save"
For kids it makes a perfect cave
You have a vision of loss and bother
And my eyes vision sees another
There really is no wrong or right
It all depends on the seer's sight
Thank you for reading and your comments. True in life, every one has their own outlook on things. And it is good if we try and understand an other's point of view and allow them to believe the way they want without censure or lack of understanding.
Thank you Bernard for your read and your comments.BTW that picture is like our backyard. We have a grapevine that keeps growing and has taken over a corner of the house and has gone over the fence. I Think that's what gave me the inspiration for the poem.

Everyone has a different view on everything, one man's trash is another man's treasure. Great poem.
