To Birth a Butterfly I brush these words of quality. With aim and colored subtlety. To mist a mind within a rhyme And paint a butterfly in time. As pretty as a catchy tune. Or the acme of a boon It clothes the air with filigree. To make in time a tapestry I say I only write for me. But that’s not true as you can see. The true that shows within each next Looms and flows within the text. And though I try and try and try. I cannot write a butterfly. For in the mind and human will Only fantasy fills the bill. So here I lie in acid lime. To paint a butterfly in rhyme |

Sey, me thinks that if anyone could write a butterfly, it would be you. These lines are too cool... I say I only write for me. But that’s not true as you can see. The true that shows within each next Looms and flows within the text. Nice morning read Sey, hugs I must have had my momma's will |

 Oh I must protest my darlin prophet Sy ... I am the proof of this poem's innocent lie. I can attest that your rhymes color the sky, for you turned this moth into a butterfly.  *ww*   |

'And though I try and try and try. I cannot write a butterfly. For in the mind and human will Only fantasy fills the bill.' Sorry Sy, I disagree The butterflies, do flit for thee!  |

When thoughts dance like butterflies in our minds they always give birth to beauty, as you have done. Margherita |

howsomeever,  you often do write a metamorphosis, that is certain. I loved this section most!And though I try and try and try. I cannot write a butterfly. For in the mind and human will Only fantasy fills the bill. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

I am trully amazed at this. Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL poem!! If ever there was a masterpeice this would be it. I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

 I think quite a few of the flutterbys in my stomach get caused by wonderful poetry like this Sir Sy |
