The Butterfly

Written in ABC Another butterfly, colors dappled, enters, flying gracefully heavenward. I just kneel, looking, mesmerized. Natures overture plays quietly. Restless, suddenly thrusting upward, variegated wings, exiting, youthfully zoom.

I really like this ABC Bob. It is not easy to have them make sense and yours does.

Thanks. Had never done one before so thought I'd try it. Not as easy as it looked.
