Butterflies and Lovers

Using different names of butterflies that are growing in number in south U.K. I weave them into a garden where two lovers plan.

Is your garden desirous does it make one feel chipper.
Does it draw attention to the beautiful silver spotted skipper.

Can it be a place of love for a Lady and her fellow.
Would you find dancing within it  a clouded Yellow.

Upon a flower does he stand beside her like Gabriel.
And with that flower would it draw to it a red admiral.

Does she stand beside him with love till eighty.
Would you find fluttering out side a jealous painted lady.

Does her spirit fly higher then a geese flock.
Does her garden bring in such beauty as the peacock.

Has she understanding to know greatness of what true love can do.
Will her garden feel the flutter of the chalkhill blue.

Very very creative ! I enjoyed the combination of love and nature.

Does she stand beside him with love till eighty.
Would you find fluttering out side a jealous painted lady.

These lines stuck out for me. The way that this was written allows everyone to take something different from it. I really liked this one a lot .

Beautiful Rhea! I immediately thought
of a person's aura when I read this... for some reason.
Is it bright and beautiful, does it attract the right
type of energy.... positive...love? Of course, I've been in a state of
meditation and reflection for the past few days.. perhaps
that's why. lol

Wonderfully painted imagery and love the metaphor..!

Always a pleasure my friend :)

Beautiful poem! written effortlessly just like all your works. I didn't know those were all names of butterflies ( learn something new everyday)

i'm also glad you mentioned "beautiful as a peacock." i love peacocks.

I am crying, this is... I really am. Utterly beauty. The truth without wanting.
who can say this.
Just a one, who does not want to.
The creative art is a fast growing property... but ony for those, who feel I am in awe.
