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.

Lovely picture you paint of two butterflies. Just a beauty of a poem, Fay!
A well formed and delightful one, Fay! You do appreciate nature's gifts well.
Good afternoon FAY ~ The observation of the minute and grand moments in Nature is one of the Blessings of living in Cornwall ! The BIBLE tells us that GOD cares for the minutiae of His Awesome Creation so we have to leave the Butterflies ~ Birds & Bees to His Care. Thanks for sharing a beautiful "Gem of Nature" in Pic & Poem ! You are lovely ~ BRIAN
