The Beauty of Butterflies

Blooms and butterflies are a poet's delight, For his sore eyes so soothing a sight, Like mellifluous music melting his restless mind. The brilliant blend of yellow and orange, Brightens the day and lightens the mood. They dance delicate on dainty dandelions, Wings with patterns of pink and purple, And with colours of crimson and white. Those little luminous iridescent blue ones Found on tree tops and tree stumps - To a child's eyes they look like Winged blue blooms of Morning Glory. And the ones that flutter their freckled wings, Black with tints of gorgeous golden green, Are the perfect pictures of a pleasant day. They bask in the sun spreading their wings, And their radiance kindles grace and peace.

Here in Hawaii, I've never seen butterflies bearing lavish distinctive kaleidoscopic radiance that you entranced in your magnificent poem. Further, that it was an alliteration, adds to the hypnotic imagery of an awakened dream. I'm overjoyed with your win in Brian's contest, and a pleasant day Anitha, Aloha!

Enjoyed reading this alliteration. It is very descriptive and a creative use of the form. I had so many butterflies this past summer's end to come to my herb and flower garden. They brightened my day. Your visit to my page was uplifting. Sara

Dearest Ani, the beauty of butterflies is matched only by the finesse of your lovely alliteration and the delicate wonder of imagery like; "To a child's eyes they look like/Winged blue blooms of Morning Glory", that allows your poetry to lift off the page in a flutter of color taking my imagination along for the dainty ride. Simply splendid! Warmest wishes and hugs, my wonderful friend.. ~Susan
