Butterfly

So few days to live your life butterfly Firstly you are so small and vulnerable Compelled to feed and survive Finished your task, wrap up and stay safe Then comes the day you finally emerge Able to flitter and flutter Flying and finding a mate Drinking fragrant nectar Focussed on fulfilling your purpose And then when your wings are faded You are free to turn to dust And the cycle forever repeats Writing Challenge - B Word Poetry Contest 27th January 2023 Sponsored by: Constance La France Awarded 2nd place in contest
