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

There used to be swams of them when I was young... Before most were killed off.

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!

Thanks Andrea :-) I have seen several descriptions of them as being like Tiffany lamps and the top image is so apt:-) hugs Jan xx

Thanks Nette I have seen butterflies described as having tiffany wings in several poems recently so I do not claim to it being my phrase - you can buy tiffany butterfly style lampshades :-):-) hugs Jan xx
