Notes About The Poem

Butterfly Blue

butterfly in blue
wafting skies we always knew
in orange-gold sun

redbirds sing farewell
a warm hour of green flowers
when still wind listens

to meadows and woods
minty lanes where beauty hides
round and round it flies

drawing stares it goes
about pink aster affairs
sunset showdown flair
