Butterflies are full of beauty
Each wing so delicately crafted
Intensity of colors, so brightly portrayed
Full of life, happiness, and love
Always gentle, never rough

Butterflies are full of care
Leave every flower without touching a hair
Take care of everything they touch
And are graceful oh so very much
Butterflies care greatly

Butterflies are very simple
Go through life without a single problem
Keep love as their top priority
Make their hearts beat strong and steadily
Keeping hope clean and heavenly

Butterflies are everything I want to be
Beautiful, energetic, caring, simple, and lovely
Live life like it’s their last day
And never give faith away
Butterflies are full of love,
Always gentle, never rough

The author's comments:
What inspired me to write this free verse poem, was the beauty of the butterfly. Each of them are so unique and speacial. I thought that they would be a good subject to write my poem on because butterflies are everything I want to be, Beautiful, energetic, caring, simple, and lovely.

Butterflies enjoy alot of freedom! I like it! I like to repeat words in my work too, its nice. And its hard to pick a fav. line.
