Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Butterflies Are Free

Is there any creature prettier
Than a butterfly fluttering by
A creature of the utmost beauty
Like a rainbow high in the sky

Varied paths on wings of colour
A conspicuous fluttering flight
Darting forth from flower to flower
A delightful peaceful sight

Dancing amongst the blossoms
Drawn by the sweet smelling nectar
Preserving nature's eternal scheme 
This fanciful pollen collector

Is there any creature prettier
Than a butterfly fluttering by
A vision of pure artistry
These delicate wings on high

Richard Lamoureux November 9, 2012 at 12:14 PM What a wonderful vision to start my day a flutter. I wonder if Butter comes from the Butterfly and if it does why are there not more colors to choose from??? Jack Ellison November 9, 2012 at 6:14 PM Remember wondering about that myself when I was a wee tike... I'm still wondering! LOL Cheers!
