Silent Soliloquy

             Lavender lilacs pose pretty 
         with riotous rows of perfect petals
             wind whipped, airily arcing
       mesmerizing motions…paths pulsing
              sweet scents wistfully woo
          wispy winged, soft silk butterfly
             to alight and sip fresh nectar.

Laura, this is so tranquil and lush with nature imagery. I just love every one of your alliterative word pairs - I'm particularly fond of "airily arcing mesmerizing motions". When I watch butterflies flit by I can't take my eyes off of them, simply mesmerizing. I also enjoyed "wispy winged". Truly enjoyed this, best wishes in the contest ~ John
