Flutterby Streams

Flutterby Streams All around the flutterby’s dancing in our midst Streaming signs go unseen spirits that we miss Flutterby, Flutterby Light upon me Share your memory store Flutterby, Flutterby Don’t be shy Enlighten with aura’s spore Hands imploring, exploration into delicate wisps Hearts awakened soon are taken with your delicate kiss Copyright © 2013 Debra Squyres *flutterby: Serendipity, or describing a butterfly’s flight. Used in this poem as streamed encounters with the spirit world. Poetic license lol

Beautiful Debra. Did you know that butterflies were originally called flutter-bys? This is an example of a Spoonerism - where sounds in a word get mixed up. This is a Spoonerism that become an actual word - replacing the original word. Interesting.

Those mystical cartoon balloons that linger in the air. On afternoons so lazily as we just sit and stare. So delicate that they could pop if you just turn your head. It's always nice when they're wrote down and somebody has read. :) Fly away little Flutterby, to cast your spell on thee. Fly away little Flutterby to cast your spell on me. Peace.
