Butterfly

A flash of colour from her outstretched wings
I see the patterns that make her truly fine
Just one sight of her makes the magpies sing
As I count the dots on her large wings; 7,8,9.

  1. Your first line is PERFECT. Well done!

    Your second line would be perfect if you removed the extra syllable added by the word 'that'.

    Line 3 is good, although stressing the word OF like this sounds a bit awkward.

    Line 4 doesn't really work at all though, I am afraid. You are stressing lots of odd words (THE, ON, LARGE); you have 13 syllables in total; and I can't help thinking your numbers at the end are a bit of a cop out? :)
