Wondrous Wings

Dewdrops cling to blades of green grass, like sparkling drops of liquid glass. And at sunrise, as songbirds sing; to blades of green grass, dewdrops cling. With wondrous wings, butterflies fly; a flash of color in the sky. One of Nature's prettiest things: butterflies fly with wondrous wings. Crickets stridulate for a mate, relying on the whims of fate. And though their chirps can irritate, seeking mates, crickets stridulate. Gardenia blooms in Summer's heat; a fragrant, sweet, sensual treat. While clad in green and white costumes, in Summer's heat, gardenia blooms. Shadows merge, diminishing day; as a setting sun slips away. And flowing like a tidal surge; diminishing day; shadows merge.

Emile, such beautiful imagery as you take us on a nature walk through a delightful summer day. I love the thought of "butterflies fly, like paintings afloat in the sky." Well done, and congrats for your win in the recent marathon mile ~ John

Emile, with your swap quatrain you take us on a beautiful journey through nature from early morning "dewdrops" as they "cling to blades of grass" to "diminishing day, as a sinking sun slips away." A Fav for me. Congratulations on your podium finish on Mile 13 of my 2022 Poetry Marathon Contest. Keep your running shoes on, because Mile 14 has already started!
