I'm a child chasing a butterfly,
with naked and empty hands.
My little monarch
has just flown above and into
what would be a mighty fine netting distance.

I'll be quite alright,
fingering the cities beneath and between
the blades of kentucky blue grass.
I'll watch you flutter on your merry way

and enjoy the midday sun.

HI Metal, I like your poem it has butterflies, blue grass, and Mexico  .

I am reminded that on the butterfly’s trip to Mexico it made a rest stop at a flourishing  border town in South Texas and was approached by a Bee and ask for a date.  She said, no can do I’m the daughter of a monarch and you’re  just a son of a Bee.

Hey There Paul!  You've come SO far as a writer in the past year that it just flat tickles me!  A year ago you couldn't have written a title like "The Netting Distance From Here To Mexico" let alone the poem that follows.

This is a very good job, and I don't have a single "chich."

Best, Jimbeaux

Beauty... Thanks much. The days are good.

Jimbeaux... I've come a long ways, I s'pose. None, huh? Not even a single one? Not even ONE? Ha! Thank you sir, your opinion means a lot more to me, than you could probably imagine.
