Butterfly Knows Herself Well

butterfly
her loveliness
compels
our utter joy

she knows herself well
light hearted
dainty
elegance

joyful
magical
butterfly
preening with pretty

yes
she knows herself well

I love butterflies. This write you have is so wonderful and true. A wonderful write on the butterfly world. Have you been to a butterfly place where they land on you???? If no, you would love it. All are closed now but hope they will open back up one day. Enjoy your day.....................

I have butterflies and dragonflies landing on me during the summer in my own yard. They love my five flower gardens.

Of course, she is a very "mindful" butterfly. I FELT THAT!

I have so many butterfly poems, it is crazy. But I also have bee and wasps poems, and maybe more.
