Constance La France Poet Verse

Butterfly In the Corner

My room is small but a lovely place,
    and "in the corner" I have put some peaceful things;
nothing expensive, simple, often secondhand.
        A candle, 
incense and a colorful rug;
    and some pillows to hug.

I bring with me some flowers in a vase,
    it is there that my thoughts fly high on wings;
and I can soar to all realms grand.
        Oh, scandal,
meditation is like a drug;
    and I glide on my magic rug . . .

L. J. Carber May 2, 2020 at 12:32 PM This is SO apropos of these fraught times when we all are under 'house arrest'--I love the sense of ironic freedom you capture-congrats Constance on your win! Constance La France May 2, 2020 at 1:03 PM LJ, thanks for the visit and congrats, normally I would find my peace in nature but that is off limits while under house arrest as you put it, but in a corner of my room I can fly away _Constance

Sam Kauffman April 30, 2020 at 10:52 PM Such a lovely place for inspiration, Constance. I received a suggestion when setting up my office to surround myself with things I love. It was a good idea! Congratulations. Hope you continue to find inspiration in your butterfly corner. Constance La France April 30, 2020 at 11:30 PM Sam thank you for the nice comment and the congratulations. That was a good suggestion you were given, I believe we should always surround ourselves with meaningful things, things we love, and get rid of things that are just "things" _Constance
