Congrats on your win, Francine! I once considered getting a butterfly tattoo but never did. Maybe I should have! Love and Blessings, Rhonda

Good example of a double Whitney poem. I don't know why this form is not included above.

I think of a butterfly being as soft and light as a whisper Francine, their delicacy is beautifully described as a contrast to the resting place in your poem. I wish you well in the contest dear one, love, Elizabeth
