Dew filled mists gently soar Upon painted butterfly wings Moonlight brushed glittery gold Bathing a jewel toned horizon Clouds laced within midnight skies Giant oaks support the heavens The foliage crimson, fiery, blazing Falling in a harvest rainbow Streams bubble with elfish laughter Their eyes gleaming within the foam Fae whispers kiss a sultry breeze Wings fluttering with temptation Starlight sweeps fluidly Like tearstains upon navy silk Never completely erased Visions silver framed Within my wandering memory Lost once, but flown back To my weary soul Upon painted butterfly wings. ------------------ *Krista Knutson* Wise is he who faces the frailty of man with the strength of an understanding heart. -- Daniel L. Miller |

This is a very beautiful poem that never had a chance, I'm putting it up to the top. ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

This poem totally made my day, today to school I ditched the "normal" clothes, and wore a cinderella skirt, a tanktop, and fairy wings. I feel ahppy, and the luck of reading such a great poem, well this makes my day. GOod job on a wonderful poem.  ------------------ ~The price of finding love is to eventually lose it. When I wish on a falling star, I wish not for material goods but to show kindness to others and be content with what the world may offer me~ ~Maitay Mirabel Litton~ |

Thank you SD! And Maitay, I'm glad to have made your day. Making someone happy makes writing even more rewarding, don't you think?------------------ *Krista Knutson* "If my heart had wings, I would fly to you and lie beside you as you dream....." ~Faith Hill: If My Heart Had Wings~ |

This is a wonderful piece Alwye. Your talent is evident here. I am not sure how I missed this one earlier? We don't see enough of your work here in teen. |

You are a truly talented writer. I feel that poetry should contain feeling, emotion, and more important originality and a strong sense of style. Your poem has all those points. If you are interested in becoming a published poet. I suggest Iliad Press. I just got a poem of mine in a new anthology they same out with called Daydreams. You could definitely get in their next one. Good luck to you in the fields of writing, and anything else you do. S.D., you're right this should be on the top! |

Thank you all very much. Laura- I am interested in becoming published. What is this Iliad press thing about? I'd love to know. And thank you for all the encouraging comments. ------------------ *Krista Knutson* "If my heart had wings, I would fly to you and lie beside you as you dream....." ~Faith Hill: If My Heart Had Wings~ |
