A pair of little wings, flapping
Fluttered softly in the breeze.
Gently floating down the streets,
Stopped at windows, peeking in.
Greeting a flower here, visiting
A bud there, coaxing it to bloom.
Spread open its petals, to the sun,
Then landing lightly on the summit,
Dusting pollen grains off its feet.
Spreading colours, it drifts off.
Perhaps, in search of a new friend.
I really loved the usage of words in the Poetry!

Butterflies and dragonflies are my favorite, as well as watching bumblebees navigate though the flowers.

Omg yes, I like watching dragonflies a lot too. Bumblebees, not so much. I get scared of them haha. 🤭🤓

A lovely creature that appears to do no real work, but spreads smiles and new life! Nature sometime is beautiful and sometimes not so much, but she always does her job.

Yes, of course. You’re right! Nature and its mysteries, we could never tell but something is always changing, happening. 😊💜

“Dusting pollen grains off its feet.”
A well-thought sentence with beautiful imagery. Ephemeral, like the butterfly.

Ohh thanks, yes they signify metamorphosis after all. I love how small and light they are to float with the wind so easily. 🤗💜
