Isla Bella Butterly

In this dark, I’ll create my light: ‘Rambi’ Switch gone realities to fantasies lit green in sun and rains continual Awash, rainbows flittered o’er land and sea… Balm-like, soft thatch lightens my concrete tomb Endless walls in a salty breeze dissolve lifting heavy drapes to dance with palms tall Languidly lacy, they sway where birds thrall Ah! Warm sands I sip, drowning in aqua… (12/28/21: Inspired by B forms contest)

How beautifully evocative, Susan, especially love 'languidly lacy' and 'drowning in aqua' - makes me think of an island resort after a rainfall - should be a top winner!

Thank you Michelle.. I am missing an island but travel is far more difficult these days so this write will have to suffice. This one isn't for the contest :)
