I Packed I packed my “I” upon my back A heavy burden alas alack And trod a path to find a shore A stepping stone to evermore But what you think you need to be Is much beyond capacity? And so I shed, discarded it But kept the essence of my wit I also shed the weight of sigh So I could ride a butterfly We fluttered over hill and dale And stopped to eat at nectars pail It was my mainstay that and honey Free to all it cost no money And settled down in Shangri-la Which by the way, is not that far So if you pick a path of vie Make sure you ride a butterfly |

Oh! I wish! My thoughts though can surely fly and the nectar is whimsically sweet in this poem. I've yet to see a butterfly this spring.  Thank you! |

Splendid poem. I went for a walk and your poem reminded me of the 2 I saw fluttering around the bushes. Huggs Kimberly |

"I also shed the weight of sigh So I could ride a butterfly We fluttered over hill and dale And stopped to eat at nectars pail" So airy and weightless. Oh, I love it Sir. |
