Butterflies of Beauty Premiere Contest Winner

BUTTERFLIES OF BEAUTY Silent songful wanderer, soaring free on the sky conquering, unafraid to the golden rays of the sun, fluttering either slow or fast, their colors show like stemless flying flowers: red, orange, browns unto gardens, rainforest, fields and prairie lands off they are! From early morning until the night, their quiet optimism: a lighthouse to any hopeful delicate in beauty emerging from chrysalis womb. Standing in each tooth-tip spot, they're like ballerinas dancing and pausing as they do in lows and highs: kissing blossoms curves for goods - a peaceful move freezing and feeding effortless some onlookers eyes. Seduced fingers reached to touch, glad most are missed. Free. The majestic monarch is flying again, high. HIGH! Such a natural canvass painted to every stop and flight, beguiling more dreamers today, tomorrow and beyond... ______________________________________________________ Poetry Contest: BUTTERFLIES OF BEAUTY ***1st Place*** Sponsored by: Mystic Rose Written January 10, 2016 @ 11:27 am
