Fliers - Flight With Words and Letters

I love vocabulary games, and these odd words came up in English words games, recently: Bute ( I know "Butte" but not BUTE)  & "abseil," "landau," and even "Bourne" (identity?).

A poem about a simpler word, FLIERS.

When we say FLY, 
Buzzing by and by
Which is it?
Plane or insect?
But when we use "Fliers"
The letters reveal secrets:
"liFe," "selF," "lies" & "Flies" again
LIFERS is best of all
In this game; Hope for us all

I like word games too, and all the ones you found for 'fliers' - I had not thought of those before, so thank you for showing me something new today~

Wow, dear Michelle, I often consider myself corny. Be that as it may, a community of big-hearted writers is a nurturing place. Paz, shalom my Sis in Nature

Top of the day to you Anil. How are you. Fine I hope. One has to love the english language that can be and is complicated because of meanings spellings and utilizations. I found this humorous (forgive me for that). I also found the serious side of proper usage to which takes me all day long to figure out one word (smile smile smile and kidding). Have a wonderful and safe week. Now about fly - I will take fly as being free (smile smile smile) Peace Shalom Love and Blessings always.
