Butterfly wings. <br />Dancing, shimmering lights. <br />They are the northern lights <br />of the south during the day. <br /> <br />Beautiful lime green. <br />Flash and flutter. <br />Dancing upon the walls. <br />Making such a clutter. <br />Those butterfly wings. <br /> <br />A light periwinkle blue. <br />As blue as the ocean. <br />Mysterious as the moon. <br />Reminds me of that sky, full of clouds. <br />Those butterfly wings. <br /> <br />A deep blood red. <br />So vibrant and full of life. <br />A deep, swirling crimson. <br />So loyal and true. <br />Those butterfly wings. <br /> <br />A sparkling sunny yellow. <br />So bright and cheerful. <br />Almost like a lighter gold. <br />So friendly and caring. <br />Those butterfly wings. <br /> <br />Those wings hold character. <br />Opposites they hold as well as mystery. <br />So dark but light and sure. <br />Are those butterfly wings.<br /><br />Valerie Anderson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/butterfly-wings/
