Image result for glass wing butterfly

I had a dream one night, that I was a beautiful butterfly, but not just any butterfly, I had transparent wings; clear as glass, I reflected the forest like a stained window, I lived in a mountain fog-shrouded rain soaked place, I was beloved too! I had eternal beauty for this was a magic forest of dreams, lingering on the toxic nightshade plant to feed; all creatures kept a distance from my deadly touch, oh, is nature not funny to make something so beautiful, but so deadly too! ___________________________ January 12, 2017 Poetry/Verse/Butterfly Beautiful and Deadly Copyright Protected, ID 17-865-484-0 All Rights Reserved.

Wow! This is beautiful poetry with a touch of education. Congratulations on your placement. I enjoyed reading this. I saw one of these once. I had no idea that it was toxic. I was aware of the deadly night shade. I like the dreamy aspect of this poem, too. Very nice. :) Dane Ann
