Which Nectar

I fly from cold, to hot, to cold
From weak, to bold, to weak, to bold
To sad, to joy, to sad, to joy
My mind can’t stay steady employ.

I vacillate in all I do
From new, to old and old, to new
I oscillate from side to side
And in neither do I take pride.

It would a port to stay the din.
A seat of thought to reign within
I would a scale to mind the tide
I would a bale to stay, abide.

I’m a butterfly in the air
Still searching nectar flowers bare.
The good and bad my heart partakes
I think it is a sad mistake.

This butterfly sighs heavy sighs
It’s suckles on the flower why.

First you rouse me with your Seuss
then you talk like Mother Goose
soon you let the wisdom in
then give cause to form a grin...

===================================

Forget the flowers ... they're not for poetic butterflies
You need a nectar with power to answer your  wisdom's whys
You're a rhyme butterfly ... stop buzzing like a worker bee
Meet me in Eden at three ... yes of course for rasberry tea

Seymour~

Oh, for goodness sake
forget the nectar that flowers make
If you want the best, by heck
Come and suckle ... on my neck~

Then I think
that you will see
All those blossoms
are not for thee~

For in your flight
as Randy Dragon
I offer you this
honey-filled flagon~

Love ya'
*Hugs*

Oh, you are a greedy one. You already have the sunshine and the mist, raspberry kisses, and the sweet deer. And now, even the midnitesun is lured by your word.

I'm smilin' here Sy, thanks for the lovely read  

I’m a butterfly in the air
Still searching nectar flowers bare.

I think it is a sad mistake.

This butterfly sighs heavy sighs
It’s suckles on the flower why.


Absolutely wonderful!

hmm I wish I had written these lines...it's my life to a T right now...

Well....on a positive note...at least you know where you are at and what you are doing when you do it. You have it down better than most. How are you going to flit to all these other seductive little blossoms?   You are good! And great in your verse!

Sincerely,
Regina
