This parody of the tune to I'm a Little Teapot, Butterflies, sounds right and either gives us a smile that the little darlings are braving the cold to test the atmosphere, or your brain is projecting fluttering colors to keep you happy. Maybe both.

Thanks, Bill. I live where the cold is (once in a while) 60 degrees. Most times it is 80 or higher. Yet, my mind sometimes joins the butterflies in their plain of existence. They seems so happy. :)

You did a good job on this poem. It adheres to the rules properly. My only comment is that the meter is slightly off, albeit not critically. I gave it a No. 3 rating in the contest. (Of course we can only vote for one)

Thank you, Scanless. Yeah you're right I was a beat off on the second line. It should have been 9 not 8. I know what you mean you can only vote for one. :)

A vety well-written teapot for my poem. A little butterfly seems a bit crazy while dancing in the sky from flower to flower happily. Smiles are more worth than gold.

This is lovely. It fits the teapot format, it tells a story, and I could definitely sing it to the tune of the teapot song.

It's a strong entry. Good luck!

Cool! I am glad you had the "Teapot" rhyme imbedded in the comments because that helped with reading your lovely poem. I liked it before I knew it was part of the contest and like it even more accompanied by the song.
Great job

I have never seen butterflies when it has turned cold, this must have been a wonderful sight and if they can survive the winter then we all must do our bit and pray for spring, a sweet little teapot write and I wish you luck with it, love Dolly x
