Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

To a Butterfly

When I espy you in the morning light
You truly are such a delightful sight

Your jeweled wings catch my eye
As you dance in the cerulean sky

Alighting to sip nectar from summer flowers
I could watch your beauty for many hours

I’m mesmerised by your colourful wings
Such joy a beautiful butterfly brings

Maurice Rigoler July 14, 2016 at 9:18 AM Lovely poem, Jan. Every late August swarms of monarch butterlies appear at our beaches as part of the journey to final destinations. They are so tired they are easily picked off golden rods on which they fuel up. Spectacular sight. I conceived "Smart Boy" at my local coffee shop early this morning! Thanks for the stop by. /M Jan Allison July 14, 2016 at 9:22 AM That must be a wonderful sight Maurice:-) YOU conceived Smart Boy ... so the truth is out ... that's where he' gets his brains lol:-) :-) hugs Jan xx
