Cabbage white
The story behind the poem

I wrote this poem in a spirit of admiration for the white butterflies I could see from the kitchen window, and of defiance, refusing to allow my knowledge of their caterpillars' voracious appetite to detract from the visual delight before me. Sometimes, just for a moment, it is important to ignore one's knowledge and pay attention to one's senses.
