The Most Glorious Bloom I look down on the spectrum’s hues Of golden, bronze, and pastel blues Laid gently on an emerald bed With spatterings of scarlet red A coverlet so neatly sewn And every colored patch its own Display of beauty wrapped in folds Of fragle ever changing molds Not one more splendid than the next I reel and spiral down perplexed As where to lay my gentle kiss As I descend through morning mist I twirl and float and gently spin In morning drops and gust of wind The sunlight penetrates and glows Upon the petal of a rose I spot a patch of purple bloom And settle on a petaled plume And spread my powdered sails of gold To all the world my wings unfold There is no flower as grand as I A dazzling floating butterfly Elizabeth Santos |

 Liz - yes, you are a butterfly and you bloom all over passions with your marvelous poetry and kind replies This is just so whimsical, classical and lovely, it flows like a song It's a gem that's going into my library, I love it! I even wish that I had written it, I just adore the way you write~ Melissa~ |

 I wanted to leave something special for you in exchange for all the beautiful poetry you share Elizabeth, with my sincere gratitude. This was absolutely beautiful. I printed it out to put with your others, until your book of poetry comes out  . Will you please hurry! ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance. (Lee Ann Womack) |

As you well know, I am a huge fan of both the butterfly and nature and your wonderful gift of vision within your words has treated these eyes to one of the most beautiful tributes to both ... if not the most beautiful that I have had the pleasure of reading. It is sooooooooo very nice to read your poetic grace once again. Well done for sure. |
