ISABEL VISITS THE BUTTERFLY
PAVILION
Westminster, Colorado ~~~August 21, 2007
'Twas a magical land for
Isabel, three
a tropical rain-forest,
lush and misty
dense with fern, bright
hibiscus and leafy trees
lazy old turtles, a muddy
swamp, no breeze
Fluttering way up high,
coasting low, low, low
thousands of butterflies
gave a sky-dance show
They glided and swirled around
us everywhere…
above, around us; we had
wings in our hair!
Vibrant creations, every
colorful hue
flaming red, orange, green
and electric blue!
On Isabel, a mariposa
alighted
Was she afraid? No. Issy
was delighted!
She spied a swallowtail
asleep in a tree
Our little girl picked it
up, most carefully
then she set the yellow creature
free…oh, my!
It flew off happily…fast as
it could fly!
Caterpillars, chrysalises,
some breaking free…
Winged ones as fanciful as
insects can be!
In a special kiosk, a fine
artist drew
with bright paint on
children, butterfly tattoos
Issy selected a beauty she
liked lots—
a splendid specimen with
green polka dots!
That evening she told of
all the fun she had
and showed her painted
tattoo to Mom and Dad
