Monarch Butterfly

When I'm lying wrapped in sunshine, discreet I've tried to be. Eager to see your black trim and golden flickering wings. My heart tries to keep a slow steady beat each time I've tried to reach and touch your wings. golden daffodils in silence butterfly flit indulge sweet nectar 7/19/2020 HAIBUN - pick your theme Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Line Gauthier

Congratulations on your win. I love this write and I love butterflies. I love where you say, "My heart tries to keep a slow steady beat each time I've tried to reach and touch your wings." They have places where butterflies will come and land on you. Hope they will reopen when all this is over. I know you would love it. Enjoy your win and day..........

Eve, you've described two aspects of nature I adore, the Monarch and the daffodil. The fact that butterflies are always just out of reach adds that poetic / philosophical element to this write that I love. Congrats and blessings, dear one ~ John
