To know lovely lies in the shade of butterflies how high shall I fly Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

I love butterflies as well, there is something beautiful and graceful about them. Just like your poem. |

As I high as you can, sigh But not to high, as my eyes can't see The flattering wings and the smile from thee Very nice too The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Sunshine, this really is delightful. I love it so much. I think butterflies are like life: Beautiful, fragile; Simple yet complicated. Metamorphosis. Love and hugs, Lizzie "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Sunshine ... To know lovely lies in the shade of butterflies how high shall I fly * Don't chase the high flyers ... Like apples at the top that appear to be best ... and no better than the rest when examined up close Rex}>{{{{o> |

Fly into the sky, high As you do see the light grow bright, shades of crimson, in deep blue light. Shades of ethereal passion, Clouds with winged angels fashion, Fears disappearing into distant oblivion... Nice little haiku, Karilea, Regards, Sudhir Life is like a painting, That in an art gallery is left hanging, Though many come just to look at it, A very few actually come to enjoy it. |
