Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Butterfly Ladies of Lockdown

Pretty butterfly please come dance for me
I am a lamp and I'm lonely you see
Solitary here, I need company.

I heard there's lockdown, so no one hangs out
No gaiety, laughter or rowdy shouts
Can't understand what it is all about.

So let me shine o'er your fine filigree 
Flutter your wings in my light skilfully
Be my ladies of lockdown, dance for me.

Sara Kendrick November 5, 2020 at 6:16 AM Ahhh!! I am glad that you shared this one with us. Maybe that is the reason so many butterflies have to come my herb garden to help ease the loneliness because of the coronavirus. Thanks for visiting my page. Beryl Edmonds November 5, 2020 at 8:55 AM Thank you Sara, perhaps that’s true, moments spent admiring all the beauty of nature certainly does help one make it through.... Belle
