Placed eighth in : No. 1234 New Poem Only Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand A Speaking Butterfly *** *** With shiny little wings From leaf to leaf I just do swing; From flower to flower P P I live hour after hour, Picking scents and E E nectar from cute flowers to spread them A A in the air, where I deem it fair. If you quite C C gently close your eyes, Just free off your E E mind from gloomy thoughts spinning round H and round like a fly, Turn your stress to a A nought, Lay off all your emotions, Or stay P still and clear all your wrath and passions, P I will come for a while to rest on your palm, I With the salve of silent peace I will fill your mind N and with happiness`s balm your life I will pervade. E If your sure seal of safety you evade, Fret and fume S and to catch me just try I will flit up high in the sky S As I am quite subtle and elusive and worms of stress Will gnaw your mind or the wanton wilful winds of distress Will whirl you down.The choice In the palm of your hand is truly found. *** ***
