Alesia Leach Poet Couplet

Butterfly Wishes

Today, a butterfly
fluttered through the sky.

Swooping, drawing near--
floating close enough to hear

the wish whispered softly
through teardrops, a little salty.

It landed on a tiny nose
and heard the giggle as it goes.

To the heavens it soared up high,
releasing the wish on a little sigh.

Paige Hind May 26, 2025 at 10:02 PM I could visualize the butterfly landing on a wet little girl nose...touching right at the right time. Alesia Leach May 31, 2025 at 4:33 PM Paige, that image you painted--a butterfly landing on a wet little girl nose--was so perfect it made me smile and tear up at the same time. You always seem to arrive at just the right emotional moment, just like the butterfly. Thank you for feeling the softness in this one.
