Sipping nectar deep in stamened flower,
Erect to galvanise and to entice
Penchant of the butterfly that hovers
Tasting once, enjoying, tasting twice,
Offer savoured, sweetest delectation,
Concubined to heady flower held aloft,
Inducement of the rainbow borne on wingspan,
Partaking of the dewdrop silken soft.
I love this. Beautiful and sensual.

Sensual is the word. Butterflies have so many poetic and metaphorical possibilities, I love this one. Thanks!

Thanks for reading and enjoying. 🙂 I only really like butterflies from a distance. When they’re up close they remind me too much of big, scary moths that find their way into the house when you leave a light on and a window open. Then I jump about like an eejit. Not so sensual! 😉
