Daniel Turner Poet Monorhyme

Love At First Sight

I caught a butterfly a week ago.
Her wings had painted eyes of indigo, 
Surrounded by a ring as white as snow.
So pretty I just had to let her know.
She flapped her wings and put on quite a show,
Then kissed my cheek before I let her go.
I sure was glad I stopped to say hello.
