The Winged Beauty Poem by Vinaya Joseph

You paid a visit,
In the wet season,
And sat on the corner,
Of my window

Elegantly sitting,
With your wings fanned out,
Across the edges of a wooden frame

I remember spotting you before,
Seems like
The winds brought you back,
Your ends were bordered black,
With concentric grey rings,
On velvety brown wings

Exceptionally stunning,
Your curves were worthy to look at,
And wings marked with eyespots

Before you get ready for your flight,
Let me thank you,
For giving me company today,
In this dark weather,
And do come again!
