Writer's notes: Was Tagged. It's the final challenge for

James & Oneg's Summer Extravangza Challenge.

Per their post, "The Break Out of Your Cocoon challenge 🦋

Butterfly poems are a genre of poetry that use the butterfly as a symbol or metaphor to explore themes such as transformation, growth, beauty, and the fleeting nature of life. Have a go at one.🌺

This past month, we definitely grew. We grew in our own skills, our abilities, and definitely as a community.🦋

Remember, that just because it’s the last challenge, that doesn’t mean there’s a time limit on any of the previous challenge. If a year from now you’d like to try one out (again even), that’s awesome.🌺

Thank you for coming on this journey with us. Let us all bloom and fly high! 🦋
