Flutter By

Did you ever stop, to watch a butterfly
Gently spread its wings and flutter by
Wondrous colours, as they fly with ease
Darting here and there, in the gentle breeze
Up into the trees, then into the grass they dive
Watching them, makes us feel so glad to be alive
Tis normally on a sunny day in spring
As they flutter around the birds do sing
I could lie in the grass, and watch for many an hour
As the bees take the pollen, from flower to flower
Rays of sunshine on my face would beam
As you dangle your feet in the cool clear stream
I`d look at your hair, and your waist so slim
Give you a quick kiss, then go for a swim
Kicking off your clothes, you would jump in with me
We would jump around and laugh so childishly
Hand in hand, dripping, we get out at long last
Passionately kiss, then make love on the grass
Then lay on our backs and stare at the sky
The day will soon end, and we can only wonder why
An hour or two later, we will awake under the trees
We will thank the Dear Lord, for the birds and the bees
The sun will soon set, and darkness is nigh
We will watch one last butterfly, gently flutter by

    This is wonderful to read. I can see clearly the setting you put inside my head with your words. But the option 1 was the title of the poem be the title of the song. And you choose Butterfly so that what title of the poem has to be if you really want that. So could like fix it or do another option. It just a rule thing. It still a really good poem.

    Very nice ...

    but it doesn't climb to the level of poetry I'm looking for. You are welcome to enter another if you like, but this one won't make the cut.

    Merry Xmas in any case.
