The Butterfly List

Title:  My Butterfly List

My butterfly list….
flit
flirt
flutter
frolic among the faeries

delight
dance
dip
dangle on the lilacs

swirl
sip
slip
slenderize your wings

lithe
light
lovely
longing for your return

Thank you Michelle. I wanted it to sound like a flit and flutter of a butter fly.
