Flutterby Splendor

Thanks noodlebumble for the fabulous pic!

My perception is filled

               with butterfly splendor

 flutters my lashes, 

           delicacy of soft balletic wings

The heavens smiled 

              with pure graciousness of light~ 

flutterbys softly shaded my dark sight

                    so I could haltingly see,

       the stunning elegance of beauty

                stealing breath from me

,

              ~an exquisite view fore my own eyes

And beauty sits "fore my own eyes" in the form of your poem here Dear Frieda. This had a certain softness to it, as the breeze of this butterflies wings moving freely on a warm spring day might create. Happy, I think so. Beautiful, I know so.

"My perception is filled with butterfly splendor."

This opening line is so very pure and entices the reader to not hesitate, but read on for there is beauty waiting. This was wonderful my sweet friend.

Leave it to Sye to find the best butterfly pics, it so moved me that I had to write something uplifting for a change, glad you enjoyed it Jack, thanks so much.

Never realised you wrote a poem with the piccie - as always you out done yourself, this was marvellous. There are so many amazing lines in this, it's so uplifting. You gotta love butterflies, they're such lovely creatures. I woke up to a butterfly laying on my pillow one morning, it was funny - to me - and lovely.

Well done.

' The heavens smiled ~~~ with pure graciousness of light~ '

There's something in flutterbys that touch the spirit and lift it high high into the space where grey thoughts fade! You've displayed that with this wonderfully touching and delicate piece of writing. Tis beautiful, love, truly.

(Wonderful picture, too.)

A fabulous picture indeed! I love the beautiful frenzy of your words; it never ceases to amaze me how easily you weave together feelings of gentleness in your work. This was as delicate as the fabric of an ancient tapestry.

I imagine watching butterflies dancing in the breeze... Or fluttering my lashes and my heart to some exquisite male passing by with this delicate piece. Very lovely, Frieda...

[Frieda P]

Butterflies have the magical beauty of making us forget our sorrows with a flutter of their painted wings...You give these gorgeous creations of God a new glory with your beautiful writing Frieda...This poem is as pretty as it is subtle and full of an ethereal charm....

Butterflies are very important to me. My published book of poetry is entitled, "Butterflies of my Soul"! Your words are elegant and graceful and flitted across the page as a butterfly would! Love the presentation too! Lydi**

[Frieda P]

Butterflies are important to me also Lydia, they remind me of my sister, her spirit lives through these flutterbys...thanks so much.
