Said the butterfly to the bird
“I’ve heard an amazing thing
Warmer weather is coming!”
Said the bird, “Yes, it’s spring!”
“When flowers bloom in color,
And skies turn azure blue;
It’s then you’ll hear me singing
And see more butterflies, too!”
As both admired the flowers
Happily, they shared their day
Anticipating the sunshine
That’d soon, be heading their way
Author’s Note: The weather has been so dreary and cold, I needed to write something happy. I cannot wait for warmth! Come on spring!! ❤

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. On you own blog, you may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. Then link your post to Helene’s original post. (Can be found at the bottom of my poem by clicking on What do you See?)
The delicate pieces of nature
Completing the puzzle of life
Bits torn to create anew
From bland to exquisite
An indistinct worm
Sleeps, awakens
Grace in flight
Flutters

Colleen is back and it’s a New Year, and a new month and that means…Poet’s Choice!! My words this week are Fragile and Breeze. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as a Shadorma, my synonyms are Delicate and Wind.
Delicate
With colorful wings
Fluttering
Against wind
Swept away with the current
Returning in spring
