With rainbow wings, you tarry among the stones Your caress as light as dew drops in the sun Searching for a rose to call your own... A morning breeze hastes to join the fun Tickling vines, and petals, where you've clung You find a place to rest awhile and preen Then fly to me, assured and debonair You spread apart kaleidoscopic wings While proudly knowing roses won't compare Nor can the scarlet ribbon in my hair Dear butterfly, while neighbors won't suspect This love affair I have with you, My hair, in which you light, holds new barrette You flatter me,... am I prize pursued? You've fluttered down, to be my arm's tattoo _______________________________ For Contest: "Flirt" Sponsor: Lewis Raynes

Lovely poem here. I am amazed at the pictures described in the first verse! Perhaps you are missing an "s" in the title? Might want to check that out.
