azure beauty spread
wings filament-passing joy
waits by windowsill

Very fine...right on with the form/syllable count, line number and concrete vocabulary, no metaphor.

Well at least I think so, I'm not totally certain what 'filament-passing' means. Can you help me with that phrase? I totally enjoyed the read, though, cuz mystery for me gets me to ask questions...at least sometimes.

Sunshine: I love a butterfly's whisper...pass it on.

Mysteria: although I've studied butterflies within a lab setting, I still become fixed watching them and look forward to their arrival in spring.

Janet Marie and Melissa: thank you for the gift of beautiful buttterlies.

VAS: I may have failed classic form with "filament"; however, I believe that delicate butterfly wings can act as translucent conduits of joy.
