His eyes stopped on her
like a butterfly
landing on your arm.

    sorry, it’s monday, i’m tired, and i’m taking issue. butterflies do not land on arms. never have, never will.

    ok, back to the poem. i’m taking another issue. eyes never land on someone. never have, never will.
    Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing is the largest butterfly in the world, with a wingspan up to 1 foot, from the rainforest in northern Papua New Guinea.
    “I’d be a butterfly born in a bower,
    Where roses and lilies and violets meet.
    — Thomas Haynes Bayly
