Butterfly flutterby?

Butterfly flutterby?

Delicate, dainty butterfly
swaying in the summer breeze
Kissing flowers flutterby
Does the pollen make you sneeze ?

Do you dwell in the floral meadow ?
Beyond the purple heather hills
where the grass is green & golden
awash with Springtime daffodils

There is a copper copse yonder amongst the silver birch trees
Is that where your children are
playing with the buzzy bees ?

I see you daily in my garden
hovering by my Honeysuckle bush
Tho your silence is simplicity
your crimson colours are lush

I have never seen such beauty
In the insects that I know
Those painted pallettes on your tiny wings
The marbled mosaic all aglow

Flittering flickers free spirit
careful with those scaley wings
Dodge the dewdrops on the daisies
Duck the honey bee stings
