Premiere Contest WinnerButterfly Effect

Butterfly effect;
			Your wings create thunderstorms,
			Transformation rains
			Onto my Lazarus heart
			To be reborn once again.

Really good tanka, Phil. Love the butterfly metaphor, that always work for me. Strong imagery, nicely written poem. I tried to the find poem "Tags" in your catalog, but I couldn't find it. Maybe you can help direct me on how to find it so I can read it. Love the poem. Peace and love to you.
