About This Poem

A Paper Butterfly

I sat and sketched a butterfly in flight..
I made it move from paper to paper tonight..
It grew from a black and white slide show
to a colorful movie that had a flow..
Now all the sheets of paper are stretched across my table..
The last scene was a picture of beauty and not a fable..
I opened my window to give it life and air..
Then she flew away and my paper is now bare...

    This is such a beautiful write my friend! I really like how you brought life into the drawings of a butterfly! And how you brought color into the butterfly from a black and white creature! I thoroughly enjoyed your poem that I have read this afternoon! Great Work!!
