Blushing Butterflies

Butterflies have the quietest wings
Defying the weight of their flutterings
Your red face has shown
What you did not want known
Your fight to keep them from escaping

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/2/2019 1:31:00 PM Butterflies' wings move quickly, but gently and you've captured them beautifully in your poem, Maureen. In Callaway Gardens, Georgia, there is a butterfly pavilion. None can escape and they are actually bred there. Wish you could see it. Best wishes for success in Dear Heart's contest!
