Gypsy Moth Blues Gypsy moth In flutters roams Each night another lamp post dome Cemented well into the earth For gypsy flight of little worth Oh how to find blissful delight Within a lamppost’s glowing light You flash a winking eye and grin Allowing space to let me in Then by the warmth of light bulb’s flame The moth will never be the same Now trapped within a lamppost’s light Which never lived in freedom’s flight Your sweet caresses beg me stay Until the purple light of day Within your chamber walls of glass You have consumed a gypsy lass No life left in a gypsy moth A lamp post’s greed, a light bulb’s loss To Sy, From LIz |

Your sweet caresses beg me stay Until the purple light of day Within your chamber walls of glass You have consumed a gypsy lass =================================== I do so love when one poets pen inspires magic in anothers. (and Im shaking my head in respect of how fast you wrote this after just reading Sy's) Lizzie this is lovely ... as is the poet. and you knew a moth would love the light in this gem of pen. Good morning Lady Santos.  |

To Liz I am not a gypsy moth But a dragon at a loss And Randy doesn’t say Or give me notice of his way. We each have standers that we know And never careless with a toe A scale has two weighted plates Each a different weight and fate I’m sorry if I hurt you dear You’re in my heart and ever near. And you will stay within this place Forever and a day of grace. |

Sy, Flutters of joy to you my friend A true poet gentleman to the end A gift for you, the master sage Some gypsy powder on the page A slash of white on screen of blue A world of words I'm flying through Just gently brushed against a place Of poet friendship, love, and grace Liz Ethel, Thank you for your "fluttering" words! Liz |

Well, this has been a wonderful experience for me! My pleasure was tripled by the addition of your poetic reply to Mr. T's poetic reply! Two of my absolute favorite poets! Thanks to you, Liz!--and to Mr. T.! ~ May your words forever flutter ~ Linda |

I truly love the rhythm within this and the emotions that are inspersed. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
