Duo Ballet.
Two late butterflies hovered over sun-dappled
tables at yesterday's woodland outdoor room.
"" ""
Coloured in rainbowed striated gilding their
weightless bodies of delicate strength raced
to get fed and resettle before dark overtook.
"" ""
Duo ballet of bantering filigree in lacy dance
fluttered and hurried to finish a nectar filled
feast as breezes increased and shadows ran
rings around setting sun's dimming to dusk.
"" ""
I saw wisdom delivering itself to fate as I
drained my cup in the fading mauve light
and wondered where two beautiful Tinies
would be spending a cold November night.

Form - craft - imagery - how long did it take to construct your butterfly dance?
Astonishing!
Regards Dave
Many thanks Dave for your generous comment and so glad you enjoyed the read - -- I wrote this after seeing the butterflies so late and vibrantly dancing and while it was fresh in my mind.........
Superb words and picture Fay, they will be back within your mind for a very long time.
Andy
Yes they will indeed Andy - nature deserves our tributes to such miracles as butterflies.............
Your first three verses take me on yet another familiarity infused trip of alternate existence. Only you find words to encourage your reader in, so close, that with closed eyes and a pinch of imagination, I could be there fluttering too in the chill of late afternoon.
Enchanting.
Your comments on my efforts at poetry are so encouraging D.A. and thanking you muchly for this in-put to a butterfly dance for two which by now has you fluttering too in an unforgettable image - -
