Sally, what you do here seems amazing to me. I often think about fluttering heartbeats. Some of us can feel different beats and some cannot. It can actually seem disconcerting when anything but regular and even. I find that being happy and calm accomplishes the desired outcome. (Also avoiding coffee). I love how you compared this to a butterfly and one which we still see during the summer. All smiles here!!

Hi, Sally! Congratulations on POTD. Would this be considered a Hiku, or a micropoem? Well, I like it, it's beautifully crafted penning. What that painted lady butterfly doesn't know, is she sure is a hit around here today. I enjoyed this! Have a Great Day! Warm Regards, William
