I Watch Butterflies When butterflies fly they flutter in fun Flora the sky and aura the sun They dance the breeze and glory the trees Hang lanterns hues where-ever they please. Make rainbows where rainbows would not be Dance on the wind in tranquilities free. Bring color to the perfume of the ground To every nook and cranny around. They lift your mind to the grace of the day Moments of peace for a moment to stay They light the leery those cobwebs of dreary Turn ghosts of eerie to hosts of cheery. They take a dole of the weight of your soul Offer a shoal to your essence of goal. Give whim to a sight that perhaps grows dim And color the doubts that lie on the rim. When butterflies fly then life will ensue When butterflies die then we will die too. |

Hey Seymour don't ya just love Janet's response? It's true they (butterflies) are so beautiful and you've used such great metaphors and adjectives in this poem to describe them. Exceptional images!! |

sy...don't just love them...they are so hapharzard but gracefully so...I like to try to predict which flower they will visit, I'm seldom right!  Thanks for the read here and I'm curious, what form of sonnet is this? (questions, questions, I'm always bugging you with questions!) |
