The Butterfly

The bush, the bloom its great delight
The butterfly flutters by in dainty flight 
Bestowing gentle kisses as it goes
Alighting at last upon the yellow rose

So fragile a life flown on fairy wings
Unaware of life's more mundane things
The rose it's treasure that sparkling day
Life's sweet nectar dipped, then flew away

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 5/20/2014 10:52:00 AM Dear Barbara, Butterflies do seem to "kiss" the flowers. Your poem is composed beautifully with perfect rhyme and a nice tempo. My favorite line is "So fragile a life flown on fairy wings." Indeed, that is the case. I don't see many butterflies here on the coast, but there were many in Tallahassee and my cats would chase after them, but never caught one. Wishing you success in the contest!
