Lonely Centerpiece

alone she stands having weathered the fall
bulldozers claimed her comrades...
soon a mall’s centerpiece

Intriguing work..Sets my thoughts to what was that center piece?..Yes, we have some native blue butterflies in Georgia but the picture came from the internet and I am not sure if it is one or not...There are so many butterflies and moths that I don't know if I could ever learn them all..Thanks for stopping by...Good luck in the contest..Reads like a winner to me..Sara

BTW, the only "blue" butterflies I see here look more like Monarch butterflies with the orange exchanged for blue.

Sara, the tree would soon be the centerpiece of a new mall. At some malls there is a center point with trees or gardens. This lone tree's comrades had been sacrificed to build the mall. Sorry this one was apparently cryptic to a lot of people. Perhaps I didn't make my point well, but it was the best I could do with the short verse form. Love, carolyn
