    A Butterfly Lifestyle

    All matters of butterflies scrutinized
    Manners overlooked

    The wind composes the dumbest of instruments
    Flowery and flowing the butterfly moves

    Nets come up empty but never flailing
    Because gilded butterflies count for bonus points

    I like this little piece a lot. So much said in such a tight poem.

    L3... might be better with a substitution for "dumbest".
    L4... I would be tempted to replace "moves" with "flutters" for the alliterative effect you have started.
    L5... might be better with "ever" instead of "never".

    who am I but a stitch in time
    what if I were to bare my soul
    would you see me origami
