Butterfly Memories

Butterfly memories never can die. They shine, so I don’t even have to try to search for them, for easily I find them in a small gold box inside my mind. When I’m melancholy, they make me sigh. Butterfly memories never can die. I give my treasure box a tiny tap, and memories awaken from their nap. How beautiful are my jeweled butterflies. They softly flutter as I watch them rise. Butterfly memories never can die. I take them out sometimes to let them fly. They settle on my muse from time to time, imprinting their sparkle of rhyme sublime! Though my soul will leave this realm by and by, butterfly memories never can die. written May 19, 2016

Your butterfly memories seem to tickle your muse constantly for you to dish out such beautiful poems again, and again, and again! And Quatern is new for me - almost like a pantoum (?) which I haven't been able to write yet. Congrats on your win, Andrea. ~karam~

A lovely expression of how memories can make us happy and lift our spirits Andrea. I just finished cutting my husband's hair. He hasn't needed to go to the barber in 37 years! Now he will feel cooler. : )
