Autumn's Butterflies

Stemmed wings upon an autumn breeze directionless ambassadors take flight cast red against the morose, darkened sky. Beauty’s flying carpet on the wind. ©11/12/2021 BITE SIZE POEM no26 Poetry Contest

'Beauty's flying carpet on the wind'.... such a lovely image, so very novel ! These 'directionless ambassadors' will find direction, the moment they spot a flower full of pollen....

'directionless ambassadors' -- what a phrase! what an image! I almost picture Rahm Emmanuel winging his way to Japan; one of Biden's boys there, vulgar to his core. lol.
