Harem of Blue Butterflies

A harem of blue butterflies, she’s chic.
      Tiers of soft pink satin and her mystique.
Moment of weakness, Dawn’s drawn to the sheikh,
                      then flutter of wings.

Hello, Kim. My warmest Congratulations on your deserved Win! .... . . Beautiful, extremely touching. I am breathless and scared of the wisdom I'll find in full Art of Romance.

Oh so colorful a "chic" "mystique" Kim. Beautiful images. I can see and hear the "flutter of wings." Congratulations on your winning placement.
