I recorded Pride and Prejudice and Zombies last night, so I don’t know if it’s title and theme inspired this classic poem of the eternal life cycle of nature.
Flower and Butterfly, Live or Die
Candy Tuft had not long flowered
spring sunshine empowered
a butterfly landed on her petal
she held her breath to let it settle
‘I haven’t seen you here before,’
said Candy admiring the floral design it wore
‘Yet I, seem to know us.’ ‘We’re coded that way, like Rebus,’
said Pipevine upping game to the bloom above
‘created this way to inspire love,’
replied instinctively before a hush caused it doubt
was the flower wondering what about
summer rains refreshment
Pipevine Swallowtail knew a deathly silence.
References

Rebus is a picture-word puzzle, which is probably what inspired a famous fantasy detective being named it.
