Love At First Sight

I caught a butterfly a week ago. Her wings had painted eyes of indigo, Surrounded by a ring as white as snow. So pretty I just had to let her know. She flapped her wings and put on quite a show, Then kissed my cheek before I let her go. I sure was glad I stopped to say hello. Daniel Turner

Oh boy! I have been an absentee friend, this is what I come back to you! Big fan my friend applying natural beauty to the naturally beautiful! Something you managed to do better than most. Reverently A.S.

Simple without affectation, Dan. I too have written poems on this beautiful creature (the Monarch butterfly.) They make a temporary fuel stop every September where I live, then continue on to South America. / Maurice

This poem in Monorhyme form is lovely and cute, Danny. Sometimes, instead of holding on to love, we realize that it's best to let it go. ~ Regards, my friend // paul

My sort of relationship, short and sweet. Have butterflies declined now, or am I just not looking for them.
