A Yellow Butterfly Poem by Renu Beri

A delicate, yellow butterfly
Lingered above the tall, green grass,
Gaily intercepted by a few bushes,
Having tiny, yellow and red flowers.

Invisible when it lighted on a butter-cup
Lost in the brightness of its golden hue,
Picturesque as it hovered above a red rose,
Then daintily settled on it
Its wings folded as a tiny hand in prayer'

Saturated, it fluttered its fragile wings
And rose slowly in the invisible air,
Sailing away to distinguishing bushes
Accepting the invitation of another flower.
