In the Clouds

A Yellow Swallowtail Butterfly lands Upon Purple Wild Petunia's blossom Sipped a drink of nectar, flew; life unplanned Soon the sunny morn turns into eve; clouds come Thunder and lightning off in distance sound Cool air floats, peace overtakes, all succumb Morning brings solid clouds, will these confound Like the cloud that filled the Holy Temple All that Holy area did surround A cloud that lead Israel's children gentle All the way from Egypt to Canaan land His appearing will be transcendental A Yellow Swallowtail Butterfly leaves His soon coming to this my spirit cleaves Finis'...

Looks like you did it again, sweet lady. You mixed nature with the spiritual and came up with a great poem. Congrats in the terza rima contest.

This is a totally awesome beginning of a Terza Rima! I'm glad to see you work on this form, it is difficult to master, which I still haven't done myself, but this is a terrific start of this write! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this delightfully naturalistic poem this evening! Great Work!!
