Notes About The Poem

A Garden With Wings

                                    I

      A striped butterfly hovers on Chrysanthemum,
      With blooms providing the beloved sweet nectar;
The sweetness that butterflies want more than life itself.

      Bright dazzling orange bursts in a sunny garden,
      Calling to the flying jewels swirling and twirling;
It is said butterflies and flowers are meant for each other.


                                    II

      In my little city garden I have planted flowers,
      And it is there that I find inspiration for poems; 
A place of contemplation where flying flowers soothe my soul.

      I work to create their wish list safe sanctuary,
     Of sunny open space and muddy water they love;
Shelter from the wind amongst asters, cornflowers and daisies.

      A flat garden stone for basking in the sunshine,
      The solitude creates feelings deep within my soul;
Images that float on wings in my mind and flutter into words.

      Surreal poetry that I release into the wind,
      That go drifting on beautiful butterfly wings.

Constance La France June 24, 2015 at 9:53 AM This poem was originally written for a Giorgio contest, 2015 that was never judged because he left the site. And for some reason also got not a single comment. Now I have an opportunity to re-submit it to Shadow Hamilton's contest, Your Favorite Old Poem #3.
