Marred By Ink

On white skin
   the butterfly
      in contrast
pale perfection
   now enhanced
     permanently
an explosion of colour

shoulder blade
   the resting place
      butterfly
        with vivid wings
represents
    a wish to fly
in colourful abandon



~~~ for nette's contest
         the Crown of My Body- a Whitney~~

Elizabeth Wesley Date: 6/16/2012 1:47:00 PM I think of a butterfly being as soft and light as a whisper Francine, their delicacy is beautifully described as a contrast to the resting place in your poem. I wish you well in the contest dear one, love, Elizabeth Login to Reply
