Twenty Titles

On an early spring morning, butterflies 
 flutter among  dancing leaves,
  While windsongs float within a breeze
 As the monarch flies

 In a field long forgotten, 
 Purple cues in orchid motifs 
 welcome the gift of spring
 with sun kissed glee

 When the wind blows,
   Soft scarlet flutters of 
 hummingbirds in flight
 caress a flower with wings,
 as petals make waves
  like ripples in the pond

  Beyond the breakers, on distant shores 
  a sunset serenade,
 with rainbow colored camouflage,
  plays a sunset lullaby.
