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 1-29-2023 Writing Challenge - B Word Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

Joseph, the poetry you wrote is just amazing; I very much loved reading it. The mental pictures of butterflies bouncing and frolicking in a variety of motions come to mind.

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
