Butterflies flutter above the pond
Casting reflections from beyond
Colors range in many hues
Different butterflies different views
the green one skims across the mirror
sitting upon the bank, I watch from here
purple butterflies flutter around
turquoise butterflies land on the ground
tiny yellow baby
waiting for her family
reflections near
and some afar
a butterfly is a breathing star

It's cute ...
but butterflies don't have families. Other than that, it's very nicely done.

Peaceful poetry. I like it allot. Very soothing and calming to the reader. Sounds like it can be almost converted to a very soft acoustic song. Hey. You never know. I right lyrics myself, and I wish I could write in such a strong theme like you do. I noticed the rythym of the poem was very steady.
