A 'flutterbye' advertising
shameless orange-tipped wings,
darted round and teased the camera eye,
snubbed my paparazzi performance
in a sassy flitter and whirl round
And with audacious self-assurance
it swept up from moss ground
to put down upon an obtrusive arm,
paralyzing the appendage,
doping my insomnious sense
in seductive
accidental prayer,
wing to wing veneration
unfold and release the crowning unto the world
I want my adoration
to be
as the red dressed Manzanita
artless disciple
with screwed limbs lifted high
in boastful supplication
conspicuous devotion
to the heavens absolute
above
this mountain steeple
and as sure as the butterfly
who defies capture
within any perimeter
Some subtle alliteration in this. It is also an example how what each of us sees and experiences in the world (as poets) is fleshed out so differently. Singularity makes for unique poetic construct. Nice pic. Thanx 4 sharing.
