Dark Crystals-Kitten and Butterflies

In the dark my eyes alight upon a thousand glowing crystals, but as I move, their wings take flight and surprised, my black fur bristles. Upon a thousand glowing crystals, my green eyes stare in wonder and surprised, my black fur bristles when they cast this spell I'm under. My green eyes stare in wonder at this lovely liquid sight when they cast this spell I'm under the clock calls out midnight. At this lovely liquid sight, as the iridescence quivers, the clock calls out midnight on a flowing azure river. As the iridescence quivers, but as I move, their wings take flight on a flowing azure river, in the dark my eyes alight.

So delightful, James. I love how you took us on a midnight escapade, as we often don't think about what butterflies are up to when the sun sets! Lovely work with the pantoum form, making it flow ever so naturally. Well done!

Timothy, thanks for the visit. I wrote a poem inspired by your "The Eye is Such a Braggart." Hope you don't mind. Love for you to read it. It's called "I'm Sorry My Love-An Almost Sonnet of My Deepest Admiration"

hey, I got mine done. but i used only four stanzas. Hope there is not a number of stanzas we have to use. Will post mine much later. let me see one of your brand new ones now. by the way, this IS a difficult form because you have to match lines together in new contexts.

Thanks Andrea. I've had to tweak it a couple of times. I've had my issues with this form.

Absolutely beautiful - love the form which I haven't tried, YET. Your poem flows so well and is, as I said, extremely lovely and captivating. 7 ... CayCay
