Here I Lie A butterfly flew my way Where and why I cannot say. Pointed out in disagree Said I fly on poetry. So I climbed a dizzy height Jumped, spoke poetry in flight Spread my arms a poet clown And landed there upside down Said I was beyond repair What I did a foolish dare Put together in one piece Granted me the spot in lease. I died on that very spot Buried there with stone and plot. Written on the stone just SY He never did learn to fly. But I'd like to grant the butterfly Some acquiescence to where I lie. |

should a butterfly ever meet fellow sage, a poet's greet word of wisdom, held on high then meet and greet this fellow, Sy for I shall not bequeath him gone nay, for he has a fellow's song nay, for he brings to me this long to follow clear this sense of "belong" so cast thee off to never-never for shall HE remain so clever-clever... |

You fly just fine, and you could never be considered a clown, not in my book! Great poem! Denise |

if you wish to hear a butterfly scold ... say again ... that you are old if you wish to make a butterfly cry tell her how ... you dont believe you can fly call your self a poet clown the butterfly ... will surely frown WHEN the time comes she will carve your stone "Here Lies Sweet Sy ... Poet in Flight ... Cool to the Bone" never doubt a butterfly ... see yourself thru her poetic eyes. *winkiewinkie* Am I loved by my words Will my vows weather the tide Bended knees can forsee all the rhythms of life And a heart can be held without pride ~Vante |

the other day I saw robin williams in a movie where he aged faster than normal - and like Forrect Gump where they used a feather - this movie used a butterfly - in a very similar manner - - I really liked how you used one~S~ |

Your poetry is never passive...beautifully written (they say I have a terrible sense of humor) I saw this as very enlightening..*s ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |
