The Tree

I mistook a tree
For a flower
It looked the same
Acted the same
Was the same
But then I realised
It was a butterfly
And smiled

I happen to always take things literally so I'm sure there is deep meaning to this poem. However, I was picturing in my mind a tree that flowers and the flowers are in the shapes of butterflies. So a beautiful picture to have in my mind this cold snowy day in New York State - ty for the pleasant picture!

Yes, simple to read, extremely hard to write. Nice to be writing again after such a long time in 'writers' block.
