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 . . . __________________________ April 29, 2020 Poetry/Verse/Butterfly in the Corner Copyright Protected, ID 20-1247-449-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Submitted to the contest Strand Pick H sponsor, Brian Strand Third Place

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!

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

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.

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
