Joseph May Poet Rhyme

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
