Joe Flach Poet Rhyme

Butterflies, Rainbows and Unicorns

Wings of golden yellow, orange and red and black
Fluttered past my lazy body as I laid upon my back
I watched it flitter about flowers in splendid bloom
As Spring turned into Summer on the 21st day of June

Then it landed on a flower, whose likes I'd never seen
Multi-colored petals from a stalk of aquamarine
And when it flew away, a rainbow trailed behind
Its colors shining so brightly it nearly made me blind

I got up to chase the butterfly following the rainbow trail
Across the flowered meadow into a strange new vale
When I stopped to catch my breath and took a look around
A beautiful white unicorn is the sight I found

She drank from a sparkling stream of water pure and clear
She startled just a little bit as I started to get near
I reached out my hand, to stroke her silken mane
When I woke up in the meadow from the drops of falling rain
