New beginnings, farewells and catching up with people and
making new connections, this has been my week. Along with editing, looking out
for submission options and looking through old poetry files. Some interesting pieces.
This one may not be the best, but it meant so very much to me when I wrote it
and I guess it still does.
Fragile Butterflies
Fragile Butterflies
A mind full
of butterflies
Floating
through my skin
Open up
their trusting wings
And fly on
the wind
Their golden
dust of honesty
Dances
lightly by my side
Offering up
themselves to you
Permit them
come inside
Tenderly
they flutter down
Touch your
heart unknown
Filter
through the outer shell
And rest
upon your mind
The wonder
of love they hold
Has worked
its magic touch
My mind full
of butterflies
Have found their heart, their home.
Have found their heart, their home.
by Susan K Franklin
As the butterfly season is now with us, the writing prompt for this
week is to write your own poem using the image above. You can make it romantic,
comical magical or perhaps turn these lovely delicate insects into something darker.
Use rhyme or not, make it your own and enjoy painting a picture with fewer
words.
So go on, get writing.
