Butterfly Wings With words I fly a butterfly Hover where the flowers lie Interlink with them and think And dip my pen in colored ink. Phrases flow like falling snow Garnish all enthralling glow. To rise with morning’s mist of kiss And make the glory, morning’s bliss Their nectar fills my poets pen To web the wings to frame and then I wash the cling with hues of due And fly into a sky of blue. I fair above the world of wear And dance upon the clouds in dare. Build my castles niche by niche Word by word, stitch by stitch That rakes the harp in Isles of wile. So when I wake, I smile a smile. |

...and in the smile, so beguiled was she that she sang, and danced, most merrily she twirled about in fair harmony and all because of little ol' me...  |

JM, Dear Tink, This butterfly knows a flower when he sees one. And is ever grateful it has bloomed for me. I hope all goes well at home and you don't tire from so much flying. My heart and thoughts are with you and so is Randy's. WWRS  Martie, A smile a day keeps the apples away. |

I felt like the gentle touch of his poetic wings and this was just the right touch. This poet is sure missed. Thank goodness for the archives. |

Yes, dear Sharon, our wonderful Seymour is very much missed, but he is soaring up there and I am sure he knows the butterfly-state-of-mind even better now! This was a great pleasure to read and oh ... it fits! Love, Margherita |
