Analysis of A Butterfly
It is a cute little butterfly
So gentle and beautifully shy
Across the Leaves I see it fly
Then it flutters over to the sky
Shying to return to flowers nearby
Then to hold it I give it a gentle try
Wondering why its beauty makes me cry ?
As I hold, away it tries to fly
Then I leave it, I don't know why
It then flaps its wings gently
To resonate with its sweet melody
'Leave me alone, I want to nectar !'
Frightened a bit, I begin to stutter
Wondering what made its wings like butter !!
As It silently rests its wings to lay
To shoots its tentacles like a ray
Then nectar the flower until it dries
Oops it flutters, again it flies !!
To sit on tiny drops of water..
As the day begins to get hotter
While I Wonder why it keeps fluttering by…
All done, it's now ready for a friend
It returns to my finger...I slowly bend
Then It ushers its feelings to me
Allowing me to see its gentle beauty
Next It suddenly flies to say a goodbye
Time stands still, I get a magical high
Wondering what made it so colorful and shy !!
It's a cute little butterfly
So innocently it has to fly…
