Butterfly

An aerial tango of butterflies at play
 Jitterbug whirls on a balmy spring day
 Flowers sway as the wind makes them dance
 Awaiting  caresses as butterflies prance

 From flower to flower there's a dance on the way
 For lanntanas a pirouette in a breezy ballet
 A foxtrot for lavender as they linger in flight
 A minuet for marigold's sweet delight

 Lavender makes them do the electric glide
 Daintily dancing as on zephyrs they ride
 For blackeyed susans they boogie a bit
 as from flower to flower they flit

Brilliant poem. I loved the second stanza best. Those flowers should send the butterfly into great elation. Best for a win.

"Lavender makes it do the electric glide." This thought brings a smile. :) I love the sweet scent of lavender. (That's one of my favorite fragrances). Your words have me floating and fluttering, all at the same time. This is beautiful in every way. My best to you, Joseph. :) Hugs, Brandy
