Dance Of A Butterfly

by Mimed Lovette   Dec 31, 2009


The coral blue stings the eyes
of anyone who passes by.
No time for a second look,
it's just a lonesome butterfly.

Her wings flap against the wind,
as tiny raindrops proclaim their land.
The world as seen was large enough
to be enveloped by a certain hand.

Gracing onlookers with one swift dance,
her body sways against the crowd.
Embracing glances bestowed upon
before strutting, looking proud.

They continued their journey right pass her,
it's just a lonesome butterfly.
One second of fame painstakingly earned,
one second of fame she couldn't deny.

    Oh my gosh! This poem totally made me chuckle! Because here you described a butterfly enjoy the stares of onlookers and enjoying the attention and it reminded me of a few people I know. This could easily describe people too, but you contorted it into the life of a butterfly. incredible!
