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 © Jack Ellison 2012

Some memorable moments in this piece Jack. You definitely know how to describe something beautiful. I really love the line, "Varied paths on wings of colour" and "Preserving nature's eternal scheme " Unique lines that really awe the reader. Well done! Adding to my favs. I'm fluttering on to the next! Always, Laura

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???
