Butterfly at a Spa

What a strange thing! A butterfly
Went to a spa for a nice steam.
When she fluttered out she began to cry
“This is not part of my dream!”

Her beautiful etchings were gone and this spiked hair?
She looked like a moth flying over the lake.
What was she to do? She went to ask mare.
But, mare didn’t have time; she was going to be late.

Maybe butterfly thought, I could do a test,
All I need is colorful petals and honey to create.
“No, No, No!” she said, “That will only cause a mess.”
Butterfly decided to see a tattoo artist who could sedate.

Now she’s the prettiest butterfly... for her scheme.
She’s relaxing at the spa in a chair of white wicker.

A lighthearted romp of a poem. It reminds me of a modern version of Rudyard Kilping's stories. "how the Butterfly got her beautiful wings!"

You definitely went for the better option on this one by writing something humorous.

You don't need to apologise to me for being late, as I'm working a day behind each prompt.
