Best Butterflies Poems

(Written for bitesize contest)
I am like the daisy moon, in a sea of butterfly clouds~
listening, when waltzing waves croon mellifluous memories,
while this heart longs to reach the star with our fate engraved.
Perhaps, in silvery silence, I’ll find you tonight,
for in, darkness, cerulean serenity emanates lyrical...

Is
This
Nature's Glory
As a quarry?
Alone and at peace
A life, a new lease
I pull up a piece of land
Take a little time to mend
This rainforest trembles
An open window in shambles
Sitting on my own made porch
I fire up a configured torch 
Then Lay under, should I say
What is like...

They flutter and hover
And float on the breeze.
They shiver and shimmer
And weaken the knees.
Fickle and fragile,
They tickle and tease.
Fleeting and flimsy,
Deceptively free.  

These frivolous creatures, 
These knots of desire.
Once spindles of yearning, 
Now spools of barbed wire.
Once pulling like petals, 
Now pricking like briar.
Once...

As sunrise silently
marinaded morningtide meadows,
our lips flowed like two streams,
merging within an exclusive estuary

so we set home upon the river bed.

At first we floated like butterflies in Babylon,
deaf to the squawks of mercenary crows,
blind to the creeping weeds,
which wandered amongst delicate petals

nor did I notice...

BUTTERFLIES

Clouds passing by swiftly.
Like the desert sands,
tiny grains rest in my hand.
Here I lay peaceful on the ground.
My life finally reached its final strand.
Breathing faintly with no sound.
My life slowly slips back into Gods hands.
Counting each beat from my heart.
Leaving behind this shallow land.
Taking a...

The sun’s sparkling streaks,
of sangria grace, 
descend upon 
the malachite verdant valley;
world of pristine mountains,
and evergreen tales of 
rainbow hued meadows. 
Where medieval castles 
are guarded with a fragrant
fortress of blushing flowers,
enveloped in topaz gold beams.

She walks along the
fields of redolent reveries, 
where hope sprouts
like...

Curving, swirling, in moonlit stance, butterflies merrily dance,
Undulating tenor of nocturnal music, beneath stellar expanse,
When celestial orchestra plays, occult notes of galactic tune,
As titillations of love croon, mystical lyrics of melodious moon;

Echoing doting rhythms, twinkling revelry of luminous stars,
In realms magical, scintillating thrones of Venus...

~The Butterflies Dance~
 (A Double Whitney)


 The sun is
 so warm and nice
 there is cheer 
 everywhere cause
 spring has sprung
 one more time and
 winter so cold is now gone.


 The robins
 have returned and
 the hibiscus 
 and the roses
 bloom again

Here are butterflies that skip 
Dull steps of metamorphosis
No isolation in coocoons
No gorging grubs like fat balloons
 Pure genesis on snow kissed  flowers
Comes with no imperiled hours
Their slow, eternal life begun
Beneath a pink pearlescent sun
Reflecting tints from rainbows born
With pastel lights of endless dawn...

Heart is a neglected garden,
diseased by an epidemic of weeds.
Breathless, pining for your breaths -
breathe passion into me

so bees, birds and butterflies return.

Cultivate soul with tender hands,
propagate seeds sensually.
Fertilise fragility with soft kisses, 
form a vision of Eden

so bees, birds and butterflies return.

Upon dawn's delight...

There is a beauty in lucidity -
when images are wondrously concrete. . . .
a butterfly’s opalescent wings 
unfolded on a shiny leaf - not flitting about.  
Poems that don’t elude
are the ones I choose to peruse....

Rainbows and butterflies

White clouds on blue satin

A golden sun shines gloriously

On Central Park in Manhattan


The sound of music's playing

As a jogger passes by...

There's joy in the air

When all of nature's alive


A green garden of flowers

Wild roses and lilies

A water fountain springs up 

As a squirrel...

Vibrant jeweled butterflies
flutter in bright azure skies.
I’ll sit and watch them for hours
sipping nectar from flowers

Wings like fragile church stained glass
lift them on a zephyr breeze
Nature’s bounty can’t surpass
precious moments such as these

~
Many, many years ago
when everything was new
There lived a lovely butterfly
her wings of brightest blue
Every day was happy as 
she fluttered all around
Visiting each precious bloom
the gardens they were found

Till one long day by courier
a message she received
The news was far from happy
now causing her...
