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....
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.

I like how you describe the movements of the butterfly.
