Notes About The Poem

Bright Beautiful Butterfly

Beautiful bright butterfly
Fluttering freely
You brighten up the sullen skies
With jewelled wings like a tiffany lampshade
Bringing light into our lives

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/30/2015 9:02:00 PM oh the tiffany lampshade is exactly what it looks like . You got a really cool image for your poem from that one picture. and I love the sullen skies line! Sorry I can't see any thing more if you had it. I'm racing to just do a few comments at least. I think I better get off now!
