The Butterfly

>                 Exotically pirouetting in the scented summer breeze
                    Daintily coquettish resting in leafy green trees
                    On translucent wings floats flower to flower 
                    Delicately shivering in a cool midday shower ,
                    In the glow of the evening fades quietly away 
                     Hopefully to return some other sunny day <

I love butterflies and the legends that surround them. Your poem elevates them to nature's beautiful creatures that they are.

Butterflies so pirouette, and their wings are translucent. You have brought out perfect words. Great poem.
