Butterflies of Beauty

Beautiful butterflies basking in sunshine,
   Feasting on flowers, while spreading their wings.
   Sipping sweet nectar, from floral fountains,
   Dancing duets, like puppets on strings.
   Proud painted ladies, all airs and graces,
   Laying their eggs onto nettles with stings.
   A riot of colour, creates a live canvas,
   Summertimes magic, bewitchingly brings.
