Friend in Flight by Amanda Sincavage 199 words Dear Butterfly, Your wings are so symmetrical; their colors so divine. I want to be your friend in flight. Will you be my valentine? Hopefully yours, Cattie Pillar
Dear Butterfly, The chocolates were fruit-filled…and quite yummy! I ate them all! Then, got an upset tummy. Miserably yours, Cattie
Butterfly, Time to cocoon! Let’s meet at noon on Valentine’s Day. See you soon! Cattie
Butterfly! Look at my beautiful wings! Oh, be still my heart! Though, I am sorry we spent Valentine’s Day apart. Hopefully still yours, Cattie-fly
Dearest Butterfly,
Thank you for the soaring soiree – my best ever Valentine’s Day! Lovingly yours, Cattie-fly

Love the epistolary format, the sweet, unique story, and the added bonus of getting to learn something. Hey! You got the word "metamorphosis" in there! :) Thanks for a very creative entry, Amanda!
