Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

Itty Bitty Butterfly

A monarch drifts in gauze costume
Wildly cruising, to ride on spring’s trapeze;
An effervescent flight which shines,which glows 
Enchanting buds through regale of mist
Unto wind-tossed sways in hues of orange... 
Then she pirouettes, for an encore's dance.
