Cloaked in Satin

Cocooning layers of satin,
my favorites pink  and red.
You’re prickly and your scent,
such beautiful bouquet.

Layer by layer you expose yourself,
bared to  sun and wind.
Once you reveal your heart to the world,
your petals fall, resigned.

Kissing Flowers

Butterflies kissing flowers, whispering to the daisy.
Thanking them for sweet nectar while savoring their honey.
Fluttering on gossamer wings, they flit from bud to blossom.
Dancing on the petals, they pollinate the flowers.
Wings outstretched they’re carried on the breeze.
All colors of the rainbow, they settle in the fields.
They sip the dew from buttercups and hide amid the sage.
The sun comes up and dries their wings, they begin to flitter.
The pageantry of the butterflies fills the air like glitter.
