Metamorphois

(CATAPILLAR TO IT’S SWOLLEN TUMMY) ‘Oh, these frigid hours of winter May be ill, but will not last forever, Just to sleep under this a blanket Of frost will one day rescind; when Spring returns your creation that of The Rhopalocera kind, will enthral Those radicals called the human race, as you dance gracefully within the Wanton wind embrace in the spotlight Of golden sunbeams, bear witness to The scent of the apple blossom; listen To the peal of the bluebells chant as They join the daffodils in prayer. So, now sleep me darling, your journey as of mine, perpetual.’ Entered Sponsor, BJ Legros Kelly 'Winter is not forever contest' 21/1/2023

Dear Harry, your gifted pen spills enchantment upon the poetic page. I adore the charm of your personification of "the Rhopalocera kind", it certainly enthralls the imagination and heart of this member of the "human race"! Just so beautiful and endearing, my friend. Best wishes for a win and best wishes for you.. ~Susan

This my friend found me completely enchanted and intrigued by the conclusion that God’s gifts are perfection. Your gentle voice shrouds their beauty from an unquiet world. Surrounded by Mexico Monarchs on their migration path north, I thought I was dreaming, millions of butterflies! They venture 3000 miles, migrate to southern California in winter. Lovely, Harry, hugs~Anaya

Beautiful, Harry: Yes you always teach me a new word……a butterfly in sunbeams and my favorite flower-bluebells pealing. I hope someone plants bluebells on my grave. So happy to see all your newly inspired poems. SuZ
