Twilight Morning I watched the toast, toast brown today The butter as it melted away. Poured the coffee just half a cup With cream and sugar half a sup. Took the paper read the headlines Something about the aquiline The water level down too low It was a fact that we should know. Be aware of our water use Just use it but without abuse. Some other articles on crime But that I read just all the time I tossed the paper to one side Went to my lounge where I abide. I stretched and sat to wile a while Before I knew I smiled a smile. For there she was my butterfly Flapping her wings sighing a sigh. She took my hand in fantasy Into a gardens ecstasy She waits for me both night and day Each nap I take she’s there to play. One could say that I’m growing old To me she is my centerfold. So more and more I close my eyes To hereby, nearby, butterflies. |

I read this poem several times ... I even read between the lines. You make me sigh and make me smile make me dream your dreamers wile. I only have one critique to say ... If you really want your butterfly to come and play, you need to get rid of that cup of old cold coffee-- and sip the bree of me in a mug of raspberry tea. Forget the butter on your toast Raspberry jam will sate your butterfly host And lets not forget the raspberry pop tarts from their nectar ... butterflies never part. Now you know the breakfast of butterflies.... send me a couple winkiewinkies before you close your wise eyes. ~~~~ sending you raspberry smiles across the miles and raspberry kisses too, upon the morning mist of dew   |

This poem lead me somewhere between dancing fantasy and warm reality. Which was a very nice place to find myself. (And the centerfolds weren't bad either!) |

Seymour - I like this one. To have a cup of coffee and see my butterfly, it's all I need. Excellent write... BC |
