Notes About The Poem

Playful

There on the velvet grass so green
     I sprawl and yawn 'neath sunny skies.
Came all at once upon my scene,
     this fluttering of butterflies.

I sprawl and yawn 'neath sunny skies;
     stand up, get ready now to pounce
this fluttering of butterflies.
     Into the air, I leap and bounce.

Stand up, get ready now to pounce, 
     these butterflies, my newfound toy.
Into the air, I leap and bounce;
     my playful jumps, a thing of joy.

These butterflies, my newfound toy,
     came all at once upon my scene.
My playful jumps, a thing of joy
     there on the velvet grass so green.
