Not a Clue Butterflies, real and ideal Fly o’er the sands of my time. Displaying webs of fine surreal Making impossible their rhyme. I hear the song and feel the free I see the sight and sense the hue But I cannot free the mystery Or lift the mist or write a clue. They’re beyond my ability Only in a dream can I write Living a world of fantasy The darkest dark turns to light. I write the shadow of the true A vision of the narrow end That which my hand passes through But my mind can’t see the blend. Perhaps some day they’ll grace my pen And I in word will fly their glen. |

There is no place that you cant go ... when thy pen flows in poetic bestow. There is no extreme of dreamer's dream ... that thy pen of supreme cant put down in theme. The sky knows no limits when you write its flight ... you rise and set its suns and hang its moon at night. There are no doors that you cant cross through ... when you believe in the magic of you, just as I do. For I have seen your pen's poetic grace ... I have witnessed its surpassing of time and space. I have watched it define in rhyme divine ... as it entwined our minds in dreamer's design. There are no skies of sigh that you cant fly ... as long as thy wise eyes seek the butterflies. ~*~   ~*~ *winkiewinkie*    |

 WOW!!! I couldn't agree with you more, sweet friend, butterflies are one of my favorites and they are always so beautifully breathtaking it is impossible to specify their beauty in reality alone! (big hugggsssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, you are a true butterfly that flitters with friendship among these pages! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

JM, And you are the butterfly That haunts my sky Sets and waits in the greenery With raspberry cookies and tea. Winkiewinkie Randy Stinky |

First the butterfly on belly crawls sees a limb, it hangs in sprawl then most ideally, a cocoon to splurge in hibernation and then emerge in brilliant hue just like your word that in its bent, is duly heard... |

They’re beyond my ability Only in a dream can I write Living a world of fantasy The darkest dark turns to light. This is the greatest verse, Sy. Oh and now I see where JM posts her poems...lol! |

Seymour - I think you underestimate yourself. For I think the butterflies are already in your pen, because this is a fine write. Well done. Dave |

There is nothing quite like a nice flutterby write, and this was a nifty one indeed - with you the sky is the limit  ~* Imagination is more important than knowledge *~ |
