Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Butterflies In Her Garden

Butterflies flit around her garden
Landing a midget of a second.
Startled by every movement

Dashing away at all sounds.
Quivering with excitement.
Beautifying the lilacs, 
Sprinkling themselves among the zinnias.

Savoring the knock-out roses.
Increasing the aura of the garden
Whispering their sincerity in butterfly flitters.

Robert Lindley March 3, 2019 at 4:28 PM Thank you for this great poem! As it so reminds me of our mother, now gone two years. She dearly loved her garden , its colorful flowers and bright, flying butterflies.. A fav.. a glowing gem to me. Caren Krutsinger March 3, 2019 at 6:57 PM You are welcome. I am honored, being a garden queen in the summer time. When I was a child if you did not garden four hours in the morning, you did not swim in the afternoon. I had no idea how GREEN my thumb was until I began planting yards and gardens. I am so into this stuff butterflies and dragonflies light on me.

Ann Gilmour March 3, 2019 at 1:38 AM I can see those beautiful butterflies as I read your sweet poem on a grey rainy day in the UK. It is bringing summer to mind and has really lifted me Caren - thanks, with kindest thoughts Ann xx Caren Krutsinger March 3, 2019 at 2:37 PM We need summer here today, Ann. It is a mere fifteen degrees, but with the windchill it FEELS like ten degrees below zero.
