Visions In Blue

A slice of glistening ice
mirrors sky.
Enchantedly I trace it
with my eyes.

Periwinkle winks
from a butterfly’s wings
as he flits among 
blue daisies’ 
upturned faces.

Merging with mauve,
sapphire breathes
sublimity to my soul.
Stars  begin to dance
on its canvas.

And such a pretty canvas it is, Andrea. Especially loved your description of the butterfly on the blue daisies. Best wishes in Craig's contest! (PS-Took a test and learned I'm a "green.") Hugs, carolyn

A delightful missive, my friend. Simply delightful! Good luck! I appreciate the alliteration: "sapphire breathes sublimity to my soul." Nice!
