Butterflies in dance
Costumes of painted crepe wings
Flutter past unheard
Nature's delicate wonders
Chorus line in the spring air

A beautifully written poem, Chris!

Though, I must say that when I saw you've attached a picture to your poem, I was rather afraid of what I'd see. I was so glad that you used 'cartoon' butterflies instead of real ones. Mind me not, I'm just terribly afraid of butterflies, and moths... and all sorts of other insects. I don't know why either.

But I still love your poem!!! And that's most important

Mon Cherie - We all have fears of one sort or another. I can't stand spiders! But, butterflies are gentle, don't bite....as far as I know....and are an added beauty to my garden. I am happy that you enjoyed my poem. Thankyou!!
