A tiny little creature has today taken flight
Weaving its wings through the morning sunlight
An emotional farewell to a place you have called home
Leaving behind your village sad, lifeless and alone

You came upon us 10 days ago
Glistening in the sunshine, sparkling so
You have left me with a spirit to live
And willingness to always forgive

May you fly with grace and skill,
May you take that trip beyond the hills.
Lil’ butterfly fly to the stars
Live life to the full here and afar

What a sweet, spirited write!

In your own life ~

"May you fly with grace and skill,
May you take that trip beyond the hills.
Lil’ butterfly fly to the stars
Live life to the full here and afar"

Simply beautiful!

Loving Light,
EA

If you want to improve on your rhyming
poetry...take a look at the meter and see
how many syllables there are per each line
of poetry.   Sort of like....
I came to see the stars
and gaze upon the moon
as Saturn chases Mars
and the cow eats the spoon

each line has six syllables.  could have
been 8, 10, 12...depends on the writer
and what each line becomes as length is
added or taken away....

I do like your poem...It is a beautiful
write,  with some awesome scenery.  

Just trying to follow your critique message
and give you a pointer or two....

One thing that some people take advantage
of is "Poetry for Dummies"....  a book
that has some very good pointers in it.

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
