! Sweet Butterfies
Butterflies, so quietly do you fly,
you have no song,
your wings do not creak or rasp,
you do not make a noise,
yet we still notice you,
as you come floating by.
You search, looking for a flower,
finding one, you float down,
drink some honey,
but you always leave,
a gift of love.
By paying with your passion,
many seeds are formed,
and when the wind blows,
the seeds fall,
floating down they travel far,
to fall again,
to make a union with the earth.
In time the seasons change,
then in silence,
new lives,
more lovely flowers are born.
Sweet Butterfly you came in peace,
silently you flew,
we noted your presence,
by the beauty that you are,
then quietly,
without any noise or fuss,
you helped to form new lives.
What a joy you are to all of us.
The beauty of the butterfly has been portrayed in many photos and paintings. You have painted such a wonderful picture in this poem of one of the most beautiful of God's creatures. Well done, my friend.....10.. Richard
Silent presence of butterflies shows the delicacy of the feelings. After reading this poem I can hear their silent song and flutter of their wings. A beautiful poem Bob...10/10.
I love this poem Bob! A delightful read indeed, thank you! ! *10*! ! Best regards! Friend Thad
The butterfly is one of my favourite themes. (My sonnet 'The Butterfly and the Lark' is posted on my page, in case you'd like to read it, time permitting) . Your poem brings out vividly how the butterfly, like the bee, also helps sow seeds, for them to grow into plants and bring forth, in time, a wondrous array of colourful flowers, some of which spread 'essence' also all around, reminding us of the 'essence' of nature. Well penned, and a Ten.
Flowers and butterflies have always fascinated poet minds...here in this poem how beautifully you articulate your thoughts on butterflies in relation to life, Bob! ...excellent poem piece...10+
well, butterfly is surely a graceful being.. many would have had the same idea and agreed with you, Sir.. beautiful poem..
Hey Bob: Great poem! I like Butterflies because they are a thing of beauty. I bet many a poet has written about them, and rainbows and Humming birds. God bless all poets-MJG.
i am so in love with butterflies...they are sooo beautiful and innocent...and loved this poem filled with all the beautiful words and lovely imagery...! ! ! : D
I believe it was last May that I looked out of the window of the room where I create poetry and saw a flock of beautiful yellow butterflies dancing in the sunlight. I will never forget it. This luminous poem reminds me of that day. Lovely... Warm regards, Sandra

What a blissful read Bob, like the bumblebees, the butterflies work tends to go unnoticed but without them nothing will grow. Great poem. Best wishes, Andrew
