A Flower's Wish

A summer delight is a butterfly's dance Fluttering on a summer breeze In beautiful ways how they entrance With an aerial ballet amidst the trees Gossamer wings in beauty's hush Their caress bring flowers to bliss Each tender kiss makes a flower blush A flower's wish is a butterfly's kiss! A wildflower sways for her butterfly prince Swaying to the rhythm of fluttering wings Its been a while since Their meeting made nature sing 10-4-19 Writing Challenge October Butterfly Contest Sponsor: Dear Heart - Wiishkobi Ode

Such a wonderful flirtatious poem about butterflies, a flitting flowing love affair between them and the flowers and leaves - I loved this poem - a fav for me. Well penned Joseph. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

gosh it's just two lines short of being an awesome sonnet! I think you put a lot of thought into your butterfly poem. Very well done
