A Butterfly Sonnet
Enraptured by a butterfly one day,
I watched her from beneath a shady tree.
She flitted all about, then stopped to stay
upon a flower; how delightfully
she lingered there, a fascinating sight!
Her wings were blue, a most enchanting hue
against the flower’s petals pink and white.
Entranced, I stared at her until she flew
away. Then suddenly I found that I
was wafting with the wind above the land!
My arms were wings the color of the sky,
and dreamily I viewed the earth so grand.
As if by magic, I turned out to be
The butterfly that captivated me!
