Lisa Ricci Poet Acrostic

Butterfly Ballet

the entry below is an Acrostic with a beginning and ending couplet attached


"butterfly ballet"

twas one day God said "let there be butterflies"
they will grace heaven and earth along their skies

butterflies waltz
unveiled for all to see
telling the world
"take a look at me"
every classic move
resembles a ballet
floating and gliding
longing to be free
yearning visible light
bouncing to and fro
along earth and sea
let it be said
let it be done
everlasting is this flight
the timeless butterfly ballet

their story now told of glory so fine
ballerinas grace to the end of time

Paul Callus May 23, 2017 at 3:19 PM I like ballet, Lisa, and I have to agree with you that butterflies perform so gracefully. As for the form...an acrostic executed with ease, flowing smoothly like a butterfly in flight. #7 Regards // paul Lisa Ricci May 24, 2017 at 5:58 AM Good Morning Paul. Thank you ever so much.
