Little Butterfly 8x8

I watched a little butterfly A dainty thing, of vivid hues. It fluttered here, then over there I wondered, which bloom would it choose. It skirted round the flower bed To my delight, it liked the rose. If I had been that butterfly, That is the bloom I would have chose. 8x8 poetry contest Sponsored by PS Awtry 10/11/18. Placed 2nd.

Hello Gary,the butterfly is so beautiful and there are so many with different designs and colors. It is so sad they have a short life. have a nice evening my friend.
