Balloons on strings, <br />Sailing, bouncing June <br />Into July kites skimming <br />Tails like afternoon <br /> <br />Mosquito hawks on quiet <br />Water. There! The butterfly <br />Making its rounds of <br />Moonflowers' snow petals <br /> <br />Enticing emerald hummingbirds, <br />Giant moths soundlessly <br />Fluttering topaz and ruby <br />Wings. Again! The butterfly <br /> <br />Dips, bobs angel-blue wings. <br />Balloons, kites, put away <br />For the night. Hummingbirds, <br />Butterflies vanish.... <br /> <br />There is peace....<br /><br />elysabeth faslund<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/butterflies-and-kites-goodnight/
