The Painted Ladies
dVerse Poetics: But no, a butterfly Merril tells us , "So, for today, I’ve composed a list of common butterfly names taken from several online sites. People seem to enjoy these list prompts. Choose at least three of the names from the list below and include them in your poem. You may choose to use more than three for your poem. Please use the entire name, that is use “Appalachian azure”, not just Appalachian or azure." I do enjoy the list prompts! photo credit A clouded yellow sunset glow s on golden birdwing and autumn leaf . The painted lady reflects the setting sun. ©2026 Lisa Smith Nelson. All Rights Reserved
