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.

Hilo Poet Date: 8/18/2021 12:54:00 PM 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!
