Sara Kendrick Poet Tail-rhyme

Butterfly Kisses

The Yellow Swallowtail Butterfly kissed the Lantana
Light its flight carried by the wind lands 'pon my bandana
No nourishment but the butterfly lingers

Gently the Swallowtail flies to land 'pon the Purple Flock
Drinks nectar from the honeyed bloom then touches 'pon windsock  
Off in flight comes once again lands 'pon my fingers
