A Fragile Beauty

A fragile beauty, fluttering with ease
  Floats upon a summer breeze

 With delicate wings of tangerine
 Its flight is lovely and serene

 It flutters into fields of gold
 As the summer day unfolds

 A flower opens to entreat
 To entice with nectar sweet

 Upon this flower it then alights
 And sips the nectar with delight 
                     ~
