Jewel-colored butterflies flutter in scarlet sage Hovering hummingbirds on a red tubular stage Highways they navigate apparently their own Invisible to humans as they stay in their zone These lovely creatures are by nature vivacious At times if necessary can also be fallacious Both either drift or glide in on a breeze Plunge into a vortex of nectar sweets Satiation of thirst while lost in the moment Entrances spectators with similar enjoyment There are days when fluttering colors Dissipate daily woes... a gift of the hummers Butterflies and hummingbirds are beauties to behold Their appeal is captivating and never grows old POTD - June 30, 2018 August 28, 2018 Contest 485, Any Form, Any Theme By Brian Strand First Place Pick a Theme Contest By Viv Wigley Theme - There Are Days When Eighth Place Altered from Poem Lush Garden - August 26, 2018

A wonderful heartfelt poem,I totally agree,you be you and I'll be me, personally I am completely the opposite,I am a naturalist,a bit of an old hippy, although not quite a naturist but I can understand both spectrums,if covering up is what you wish to do,for whatever reason at all,well then ,no one has the right to judge you at all.
