Fritillary

I flit and flutter 
     on the wind
blown 
  as the spirit leads
drawn by colour 
   and intense needs
my journee
      erratically unfolds-
I alight,
     spread my wings
in still life

to make
    poets sing.

A sixain inspired by a garden view on holdiday recently and by Wordsworth poem 'The 
Butterfly
