Butterfly

With a flutter and a fly
Rising, falling- ground to sky
Flutter, fly, flutter, fly,
Butterfly come back to me.

Orange, yellow, polka dots,
Eyes on wings that could be spots,
Some with few and some with lots
Butterfly come back to me.

With a flutter and a spring
Oh! What joy you do bring.
Childhood and memories sing
"Butterfly come back to me!"

Author notes

Not exactly my comfort zone with this one... I'm trying to convey a mood of childlike playfullness.

Please tell me what you think

    You did a wonderful job making this sound like an innocent and lollipop-sweet type of poem; it reminds me of my baby sister who chases around butterflies constantly. Beautiful!

    Very lightly done. Can mean a lot of things - like beautiful memories from the past... Nice piece.

    aww how cute!

    This is an adorable poem!! It just reminds me of the joys of being a young child, with no cares in the world. To me this poem could mean more then just playing with the buterflies but bringing back the simple pleasure of childhood. Its adorable and i really liked it. You got the childhood playfullness like you wanted. Great poem i really enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing.
