Francine Roberts Poet Verse

Marred By Ink

On white skin
   the butterfly
      in contrast
pale perfection
   now enhanced
     permanently
an explosion of colour

shoulder blade
   the resting place
      butterfly
        with vivid wings
represents
    a wish to fly
in colourful abandon



~~~ for nette's contest
         the Crown of My Body- a Whitney~~
