Purple
Any shade of purple
will have her glee like a little
girl again.
As long as I can remember
she always wore purple.
Butterflies
Moth opposite cousin.
She adored the unique
symmetrical patterns.
Anything with Butterflies
sends her flying and fluttering
with happiness.
Flamingos
Standing on one leg
not losing balance
in the still lakes
that reflect
the bright pink feathers.
They would always catch her attention,
she would wish that she could pet them.
Butterfingers
The candy of The Simpsons
The famous saying
“Don’t lay a finger on my Butterfinger.”
She would laugh at the commercials
then crave that buttery crunch.
Her favorite of favorites.
Butter Pecan Ice cream
The pecans.
the buttery flavor
in
the ice cream
brought out the kid in her.
Her smile became 10yrs younger.
With each bite, her eyes once again twinkled.
Most of all
Her kids
are her favorite
nieces and nephews,
and grandkids.
She treasures each and every one of them.
I loved your chapter on butterflies, particularly the first line ‘Moth opposite cousin’…the picture sprang straight to mind of night and day! Thank you for sharing 🌞

Vivían, Created poem.
This a beautiful tribute to I assume someone in your life. It made me think of my Grandmother and how I miss her and wish she had lived longer so I could have gotten to know her better.
