Butterfly Thoughts

Butterfly thoughts flutter in blue midnight
A creature of day soars in soft moonlight
I claim capture of she now in quill of net
Lest I tremble not of fear and regret

Held close under my lens I shall magnify
To examine she now in a sigh of why
With her gentle spread of night, she reveals
My wish a butterfly’s soul to steal

Yet I release she now, a thought set free
With surrender I find inside of me
To now allow a poet’s pen to ride
With a silk of flow and a smooth of glide

Your flutterbys need my lilies
to land on, and take a break!

Good morning, Patricia! Your poet's pen truly does "ride with a silk of flow and a smooth of glide."

Write on; write often!

I enjoyed this. Butterfly are such simple creatures who could teach us all a thing about living.

Good Job!

Patricia, I read this early this morning when I was on the internet. I really thought I had left a reply. I see that I didn't though. I think it's because I went looking for a butterfly to put on here and got sidetracked. LOL

Anyway, I'm back...without a butterfly. HaHa!! I'm going to keep this delightful poem, though, so I will always have a butterfly close by. Thanks.

Wow. Captivating, just like the butterfly herself. Mesmorized with her in flight...the way these words took off, and soared into fancy my heart. Very pretty!!!!

With a silk of flow and a smooth of glide
they do  have a way of doing this to our pens dont they

Oh my, this is absolutely wonderful... your writing Patricia reminds of a most talented poet who frequented these pages regularly...I miss reading him. I do believe he stops by from time to time. His name is Michael Anderson. I'd love for him to read you as well.

here are a few links to his poems...

A great thanks to you all for your replies!

Maree, I just read Michael Anderson...thank you so very much for the compliment!  Wow, he is an extremely talented poet.  Now wouldn't it be wonderful if he shows up today!

Love,
Paticia

Your poem and image are so very inspiring. I am sure I have commented on this earlier but it has disappeared. Maggie
