Jan Allison Poet Alliteration

Notes About The Poem

Butterflies of Beauty

Bright blue butterfly
I saw you flutter by
Upon a zephyr breeze
Brilliant bejewelled wings
They dazzled me
My heart with joy it sings

I watched you dance
From bush to plant
Sipping nectar through your tongue
Basking blissfully in the summer heat
spreading your wings out in the sun

Reason A. Poteet January 13, 2017 at 7:08 AM Where we live, we don't see a lot of blue ones, but on the Pacific Coast they are abundant. Congrats on your great piece and of course on your placement.
