Butterflies, butterflies.
Wherever they may be.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Among the leaves.
Butterflies, butterflies.
So gentle and free.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Beautiful as can be.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Soaring high.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Against the pale blue sky.
Butterflies, butterflies.
So pretty and lean.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Always gentle, never mean.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Mixture of dark and bright.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Spotting my sight.
Butterflies, butterflies.
With the flowers.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Feel their power.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Flapping their colors today.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Migration away.
Butterflies, butterflies.
To Mexico, they fly.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Touching the sun and sky.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Migration calls.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Never stall.
Butterflies, butterflies.
This is it; time to go home.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Never under a dome.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Lead a happy life.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Never end in strife.

I saw my brother watching my cat stalk a butterfly and this came to mind.

There is a lot of repition with the Butterflies, butterflies part i think you only need it once at the first line or last line in each stanza because the content is petit when we take away the Butterflies bit.
I love what you do have however,
'Butterflies, butterflies.
To Mexico, they fly.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Touching the sun and sky.'
It just sings loudly at me and i'm happy to be reading it. Good work so far keep going!

I love the subject: Butterflies, which happen to be a great thing to write about (I find). Some of the rhyme felt forced as I read it. I would love to see you enrich the descriptive lines about the butterflies, ex: "Butterflies, butterflies.
With the flowers.
Butterflies, butterflies.
Feel their power." maybe "Butterflies, butterflies Perched on swaying flower. Butterflies, butterflies Eyes drink in their delicate power." I don't know, anyways this is a lovely write as it is, but has the potential to really knock peoples socks off. Keep writing (I'd love to see you write more about butterflies). I wish you the best of luck in the contest.
