Why I love youYou are like a restless butterfly
but you pick the flowers that are only true.
That's why I love you.
You are so joyful
but don't collect friends like a fool
and hunger for your own celebration
on the Facebook zoo.
That's why I love you.
You love your country and an artist of its art,
you are so possessive to protect
and always keep...

selfless blue butterfly ballerinaBlue butterfly ballerina offered herself as sacrifice
Because she is selfless, wise, and extremely nice
The butterflies used her as their stepping stone
To get to other destinations, some unknown
She was their inspiration, she gave great advice
Like I already said, blue butterfly ballerina was quite nice
The butterflies used her to bounce off ideas and such
Each liking her in...

ChaptersChapters throughout the time as I tweak.
The below-mentioned chapters segments of
Seasons endured.
Time in connection with deadends one way
Itineraries related to continued everyday life
Unchangingtwists and turns, facing phobias,
Adjustments.
Desiring resiliency. Chapters
Day-to-day events mold us into reinforcement
of one's fears to continue and not give up.
On the crossroads of the endings sometimes
Contrast to beginnings. Chapters...

In the deep silence of thoughts, where the poet's soul flutters like a butterfly caught in windsIn the deep silence of thoughts, where the poet's soul flutters like a butterfly caught in winds,
He carves his path through the shadows of a culture that swallows him, relentless, unforgiving,
A son of words, a bastion of verse that refuses to be shaped by the hands of time,
He stands before the storm, bare-chested, unwavering, seeking...

Sing Spring
Scavenging squirrels search for acorns, scratching old stumps from trees.
Scampering up my sugar maple, they steal my bird feeder seeds.
Sleepy salamanders wake from their slumber to sleep on slippery stones, searching for a spider lunch and a muddy new home
Pigeons flock together to peacefully perch on an old brick church.
Puddles are for...

Truth of Hope
What lesson this, God's gift to humankind,
this nitid imago sent to spellbind?
Should I see through His eyes a thousandfold,
the dazzling blue flitting of love untold.
A grace. A gift from Heaven, angels sing.
This unspoken Truth of Hope on the wing....

What a butterfly!Today I took my usual daily walk,
All alone, with no friend or other folk.
The breeze was kind with clouds a bit gray,
And people around passed in a rushed way.
Beneath the sky upon a patch of ground,
I saw a sight that made me spin a round.
A butterfly so bright nothing could hide,
Struggled to escape the sun...

Butterfly In The DarkButterfly in the dark
Butterfly oh butterfly do your wings still glow
Through troubles and problems does your light lead you home ?
Or are you lost when in the dark when the problems cloak you too much to go home
Butterfly in the dark can your light lead me back home or have my problems...

Game for two
We in this game for two
When you don't feel like playing
Then the games over
And I'd not want us to leave it just yet
I know you've fallen
and you don't have the energy to get up
But let's lie down and watch the skies together
And you can hold my hand
I know you tired to the knees
For going down...

Butterfly On The Wing by Lin Lane
1st Place Winner
As she drinks nectar from a flower, sweetness from heaven falls like dew anointed with a gentle rain amidst sun showers she appears as if on cue
Lifting her wings she lands on a Zinnia beneath a tinted sky of April blue flight of fancy fanning fast, fabulous marvel, she is...

WINGBEATSA kaleidoscope of paper-thin wings,
as fragile as spun sugar,
weave a serpentine dance
along the weathered, rugged stone steps.
Swallowed up by the blinding light
in their wake, each wingbeat leaves
only the faintest ripple—barely a sigh—
that once painted their fleeting existence.
