Heidi Sands Poet Personification

Flight of the Butterfly

As a butterfly, I dance on air
I tip toe on a breeze, I flutter and I fly
My flight bounces from flowers to bushes
I pretend to float on magic in the sky

I am delicate, but I am strong
My flight is filled with endurance 
Adventures, in every design I make
My fulfillment, in every occurrence

As a butterfly, yes I dance on air
I feel lightness, happiness and joy
People take notice and they watch
Sometimes, I’m just a bit coy!

My flight will be remembered
Patterns on my wings, will mark my name
Not one flight that I have taken
Has ever been quite the same!

Rico Leffanta July 19, 2022 at 6:41 PM I find it fascinating how so many butterflies manage to dodge birds in flight, as well as how many butterflies manage to keep flying despite great chunks taken out of their wings! Like the papillon of Paris, each one has a great story of survival! Enjoyed! Aloha! Heidi Sands July 19, 2022 at 8:24 PM Yes, all that is very interesting. Thank you for your input. I am happy you enjoyed this. :)

Frederic Parker July 19, 2022 at 4:19 PM The funny thing about butterflies is no matter how you feel when they are around life seems a lot better Heidi Sands July 19, 2022 at 4:27 PM Good point Frederic. It does seem that way. Thank you :)
