Look how they dance in the warm summer air See them sip nectar from my pretty blooms As I relax in my comfy deck chair I just adore all the floral perfumes See them sip nectar from my pretty blooms They gently flit from flower to flower I just adore all the floral perfumes Scents come drifting to my shady bower They gently flit from flower to flower Iridescent wings are so beguiling Scents come drifting to my shady bower Mother nature always leaves me smiling Iridescent wings are so beguiling They land on blossoms, then soar in blue skies Mother nature always leaves me smiling I watch the beautiful bright butterflies They land on blossoms, then soar in blue skies As I relax in my comfy deck chair I watch the beautiful bright butterflies Look how they dance in the warm summer air Write me a Pantoum Contest Sponsored by Kim Rodrigues 10-05-17

Ahh, your contest version! I was waiting to read this one, and I'm not disappointed! I feel that this one is just as good as your original one, even if you think the original is better! I loved reading this glorious piece this morning, such a powerful poem on these wondrous butterflies! Great Work!!

More beautiful butterflies are flying in your garden. I would never tire of watching them. Great Pantoum, Jan.

Thank you so much Lin, the sad thing is this year there have been noticeably fewer butterflies and bees around and i have only seen two wasps (not that i am complaining about them!) hugs jan xx

A lovely and lively Pantoum Jan. Your poem conveys the beauty of your garden and the flowers and fluttering butterflies that you so enjoy. A delightful poem with wonderful imagery and rhyme. Good luck in the contest!

Thanks Susan I actually prefer the original poem i wrote but then a lovely friend pointed out I was one stanza short so rather than alter that poem I amended it and re posted it:-) hugs jan xx
