Edward Ibeh Poet Blank verse

Notes About The Poem

A Butterfly Among Butterflies

Divine tiger swallowtail butterfly.
   Oh, look what a fragile beauty it is! 
       Alighted on orange honeysuckle
         Under a bright sunshine in the meadow. 

Light and soft like a feather in the wind. 
  'Tis a captivating wonder in flight. 
      Fluttering on from daisy to daisy. 
         Dazzlingly arresting beyond compare

In its full splendor; how ethereal! 
   In my dream I once chased this butterfly. 
      Flitting about my colorful garden, 
         'Twas then left in complete ruins; trampled.
