Painting

September 2, 2013
By Anonymous

A butterfly's wings flutter in the sky-
The child's net stands at the ready.
The butterfly comes too close, and...
The chase is on!
The child,
A very experienced one,
Deftly dodges through the trees,
Movements too graceful to describe,
Stroking the net across the sky,
The butterfly is caught!
The masterpiece complete:
The artist sets down the brush,
The beauty sought out captured
In a beautiful net of canvas.
