May's Butterflies


Under shades of green, dappled trees
Hued monarchs invite birds to croon
A tweet of love songs for May’s trapeze;
Plumes spreading like a laced festoon
To wander off, then back to swoon!

This poem merits a top grading, Nette. This write is so vividly rich from beginning to end...so many phrases to underline as being noteworthy of mention! A precious sight...radiates delight! /x/ paul
