This work has reached the exceptional level

This poem evoked rich imagery with each word. The verbs and adjectives created movement in my mind. This poem really does make you recall a youthful moment in your life when you were care-free and felt the fluttering freedom of a butterfly.

For me the insect that gets me most reminiscent concerning my childhood is the firefly, or, as some like to refer to them--lightning bugs.
We would fill Ball canning jars with them, put Saran Wrap with holes punched in the top so they could breathe and then use them as a sort of natural lantern.
Those were good times...
Your entry for the nature 5-7-5 poetry contest is well penned and presented.
Best of luck to you in the voting.

This 5-7-5, Spring Frolic, has the right set up and finds the sight of freely flying butterflies to ignite long ago memories of child-like freedom. Nice.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the butterflies that reminds of Spring when everything seems to start a new cycle with newborns all around.
