There is a natural history museum here on Cape Cod where one can feed the butterflies in the summer. Your words capture the beauty and majesty of butterflies, they are indeed so beautiful and I imagine their wings do feel like velvet.

Thank you for seeing the real beauty in that which flutters by so fast as for some to only see a blur of color. You must be part of the loveliness all about us for this tiny creature to stop and give you time to admire what only God can make.

That is a beautiful butterfly picture you've found. It has been a joy to watch them over the past warm months and now they will go away until the snow thaws again. Thanks for sharing.

You're having some youthful reflections here, methinks, Patricia! Holding a butterfly at our age seems a little suspect! But they certainly are day-brighteners whenever we're lucky enough to have them alight nearby; that's for sure.

Nicely done Nonette-plus-one (is it called a Decadette? HAHAHAH!!! Like what I did there, Patricia?), which is a very tricky poem form. You managed to keep yours flowing nicely - like a butterfly! I enjoyed it very much. xoxo

    It is not A NONET it is a tin line for thank you so much for taking the time to read and review my work. I appreciate it very much and maybe it was a little childish of me to want to hold a butterfly in my hand.

    I hope you know I was just teasing you a little; I meant absolutely no harm whatsoever.

    I'm completely ignorant about poem forms. I thought Nonet had to be nine syllables first and then decrease from there. I was also just trying to be funny when I called it a Decadette. I hope you know I wasn't making fun of you in any way. I liked your poem, and sometimes humor (maybe I should put that in quotes!) doesn't translate well in reviews. Please accept my apology. xoxo

    I was not offended at all and you have nothing to apologize for. I realize that I have been doing a lot of NONET poem so late and so people seem to think it might be one of those even when it has 10 lines. I just hope that you really enjoy the work that I do.

    I totally enjoy your work!! I truly do. xoxo

Beautiful poem about a butterfly that seems a bit more like prose but outstanding as well.
I could write tons about butterfly how magically they transform.
Well done patcelaw.

That's a beautiful butterfly in the picture, but I don't know if I'd want to hold one. Your nonet looks beautiful on the page, and the syllable count is right on. They are beautiful creatures, and it is a joy to watch them. You expressed your feelings about them very clearly. judi

    Thank you so much for your kind review. This is not a NONET. It is a 10 line for them.

This nonet, Wonderful Beauty, has the proper formatting and notices the extreme colors and softness of the tender insect which would seem to be a soft and cozy touch.

Absolutely marvelous picture. Beautiful, Glorious. However, you did not give kudos in the author notes for the use of it. That picture should be in a contest. The poetry is quite wonderful as well. I love that form. Karen

    Thank you so much for your kind review. I appreciate it very much. The picture that I got is one that I got it from Facebook and I do not know who to attribute it to
