become as we

Sitting alone she whispered: “I wish I had Poetry” A passing butterfly Offered her wings A setting sun Its “orange-ness” The passing breeze Its scented story The croaking frogs Their harmony 10,000 insects A riffled hum A distant Loon Its eerie call A silent Owl Blinked Its eyes saying “we are poetry” “become as we” She no longer sits alone

A poet has the ability to become all the creatures and the elements of nature you personified in your lines, John. There is a fairytale quality that’s magically enchanting.
