walking haiku

Come here, butterflies!
With every random zigzag
You refill my soul.

One of these flowers is the butterfly.
It occurred to me while walking that one of my favorite Walt Kelly quotes, with the addition of only a couple of punctuation marks and line returns, is a very serviceable haiku:
There is, unerring,
Magic in the stumbling flight
Of the butterfly.
And so there is, and it would be a shame to forget it.
