Top and bottom sonnet

sorenbarrett

On butterfly wings colors painted
Truth floating shades to eyes tainted
Fluttering hues and patterns imbue
Each a different moth they view

 

Some say black with shades of yellow
To another an orange patterned fellow
Some see lines where others see dots 
Where some view numbers others see spots

 

In flight flittering wings in play
On the ground reversed wings on display
Wind's illusion a spark in the air
Where all observers are right, both colors it does bear

 

Two different viewers that pursuers both see  
In flight or alight, both right, though they may disagree
