Ode To A Butterfly

Folder: 
Odes

Oh, little butterfly

With wings so full of color,

Flutter softly through the air

Over a green grassy acre.



I tip my hat to you

For having such beauty,

So delicate you are

Not only something God can see.



Only to have wings for a day

To fly freely with you,

Flutter through the gentle breezes

But for now, I bid thee adieu.

That's really clever.
It sounds like something out of a movie, you know, with the eccentric yet wise old man.

I opened this poem thinking that it was my own because of the title, but it obviously it wasn't. I was pleasantly surprised to read about your love of butterflies. I too have a great adoration of butterflies and have written about them. Keep writing and posting!
