B is for Butterfly Ballad

It's April, so the Blogging from AtoZ  Challenge has officially begun.  My theme is Watercolor and Words.  This year I am painting a watercolor to go with each letter and composing a poem to accompany it with a type of poetry that starts with the letter of the day.  I am mostly experimenting with the watercolors still, so don't expect perfection....

Clicking on the letter of the day will bring you to the main site which has links to get to other participants if you would like to go on an alphabetical adventure!

 

April 2 - B

B is for Butterfly Ballad - A Balladified Acrostic for the Butterfly:

 

Butterfly

Beauty's iridescent wings

Under the canopy, over field

Tagging hues, faceted eyes spy

Twinkling flowers bobbing, petals yield.

Enticed by nectar, its tubered tongue

Ripples forth to call of blooms;

Flourishing in each nourishing, Beauty

Lifts off sprightly, never zooms.

"Yum!" it fairly hums.
