oh, black butterfly... you're the epitome of grace in air. poetry in constant motion; how gracefully captivating! floating about a peaceful spring meadow you couldn't be more carefree. oh, black butterfly... you brighten up the gloomiest of days! no matter where you show up, all are glad that you came. you're quite a sight to behold! you bring time to a standstill. oh, black butterfly... how delightfully erratic you flutter from one flower to the next; hovering above them before alighting. you're as beautiful as you are fragile. please, do pay a visit to my garden!

As gentle and eloquent as a "fluttering" butterfly in a garden, Edward! A butterfly in a garden is truly a beautiful wonder of elegance. Love your word choice. Blessings to you my friend.

The beauty of a pure black butterfly, I have never seen. Maybe some eve one will come to me in a dream .... To a dream that would seem conducive ... For butterflies are so illusive. I am sure my delight would be supreme. What a remarkable poem you have created Edward, its unique and mesmerizing.
