Yes, makes the image more clear to me. But the "butterfly why..." seems to imply you are asking a question, which is why I added "did"
maybe
Oh butterfly why did you shed your wings,
Regress to the cocoon loom’s staid address?
Now that I understand you are striving for iambic pentameter, I really have to reset. As I mentioned, my grasp of metrical rules is...non-existent
For example, how strictly are you required to maintain the pattern. I see a few lines where the pattern breaks down (I think), but perhaps the occaisonal lapse is permitted or even encouraged? Such as
Regress to the cocoon loom’s staid address? (underlined where I hear a stress)

Celestial bliss, we buzzed God's prayer vault.
