Autumn Butterfly

You wanna know what I think? I think you 're a bit confused Don't you know it's late in the year? Don't you know it's nearly dark too? But your velvet and black-green wings fan and rest upon my bare back and it tickles! Now you're on my forearm I think you like me. Off you go now... This poem is submitted for: PD’s ‘One Autumn Night’ contest

hmm, it is supposed to be 7 lines only, but that is ok. Other people I saw did fewer than seven and won!! This is really cute, really sweet, Tim. PD loves butterflies and I see this as a PD poem!! Big congrats on a great win.

this is delightful Tim I love the imagery of the butterfly tickling your back - i found a butterfly in the house early march where it had been hiding I have no idea but it was a beautiful sunny day and it flew off happily. Good luck in the contest:-) Hugs Jan xxx
