Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I love butterflies.. :) 

The Butterfly and Me

THE BUTTERFLY AND ME

Venus butterflies
tiptoe upon roses rise
playful in pirouette, 
they tango 
with the singing voice 
of a clarinet...
Wouldn't this view 
capture your eyes?

Swarm of honey fragrance 
fans my cheeks and so my hair,
I turn around 
and see a butterfly so flair.
I run, run 
run to chase such butterfly with care
but pity, I missed 
so I just stand and stare...

Kissing now,
the curves and swells 
of the hibiscus
is a butterfly 
that dance in ballet hush,
tickling the petals,
oh! they bend and blush--
won't these two wonders
make a sublime meniscus?

Tomorrow morning,
Do gaze at a butterfly
say hello or wave a hi
colorful they are 
but they only live for awhile
Blessed, we are given years to live by
but as colorful as how butterfly paints the sky

Do we also brush the whole world with a rainbow smile?
