Dawn’s breaking, there’s not a cloud in the sky when a bright butterfly catches my eye I feel so happy It flutters about for more than an hour sipping nectar from each pretty flower it’s a joy to see I dream I could grow soft gossamer wings then fly in the sky and look down on things and be so carefree Tail Rhyme Stanza Poetry Contest Sponsored By Emile Pinet 07/31/20

Very nice thoughts on the most beautiful of insects. If I were a bug, a butterfly would be my choice. Congratulations on your placement in Emile's tail rhyme.
