The Butterfly

Written on April 14th 2025 for Mystic Rose Rose prompt Finish my Poem contest

Mystic Rose Roses’ two couplets
“As she drinks nectar from a flower, sweetness from heaven falls like dew
Anointed with a gentle rain amidst sun showers she appears as if on cue

Lifting her wings she lands on a Zinnia beneath a tinted sky of April blue
Flight of fancy fanning fast, fabulous marvel, she is beauty true
 on true”

My two couplets

She dips where honeysuckle clings and rain has kissed the loam
Her wings cast iridescent light that drift like silver foam

The world beneath her arches close, seduced by wing and gleam
Each petal shivers in her wake, as if touched by a stream.

They do seem to leave ripples across petals when they fly away. I like that you wrote 'dips' because they do dip each time testing the taste of a flower. Nicely done, Billie.
