Notes About The Poem

Originally written for Alliteration Contest held in 2014
Entered into New or Old 2 sponsored by Eve Roper

Beautiful Butterfly

Brilliant blue butterfly
Frequently fluttering freely
Delicately dancing on dahlias

Softly soaring skyward
Buddleia bushes brimming with beauty
Enchanting everyone’s eyes

Here sits my obligatory monthly acknowledgement of your superior skill set - you're really good. I feel like I remember being mad at this poem - is this the one that cheated me out of a top-line finish a few months ago? If so I rescind the pleasant tone that seasons this comment

Thanks you so much for your kind kind words:-) I have no idea how to leave a comment on 'the wall' as i don't do social media and I guess it is done via facebook. Just keep reading and commenting this way - I find it is the most successful way of making new friends n here ! Hugs Jan xxx
