Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

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.
