Gossamer Display

She glides in splendour along the fields with orange lace on rafters,well-hued by fragrant air as her waltzes roam to dazzle boughs thrilling a night's mood. On fancy tones, her music drools in rhythmic shimmer of wings aflight and she draws me towards a bright stage unto a rung of midsummer's height. Yet, when dusk floats with her velvet trail short-lived, the butterfly flutters by descending to rest on maple's palm; I weep for a beauty's swift goodbye.

The beauty of your words flutters with the beat of the butterfly. At times I find myself wanting to weep when your beautiful poems end.

Beautiful, Nette...a sure win. I raised Monarch caterpillars several times and it was so interesting and inspiring. I got to see one make the chrysalis and a couple emerge. I kept them in my house; someday I hope to write about the experience. Thanks for visiting my poems.
