Notes About The Poem

Lamentation of a Lonely Lepidopterist

Butterflies are my life and my profession,
yet I face my fixation question.
My study of pheromones
left you on your own.
This made you
moan
for one who
worshipped you alone
and might my neglect atone
To which I offer my confession
butterflies are my life and my profession.

Jan Allison July 5, 2021 at 1:00 PM I guess she is one butterfly who fluttered out of his life no longer trapped in a relationships that was going no where, super Andaree the first one I wrote took me several hours but that was quite a few years ago!:-) hugs Jan xx D.W. Rodgers July 5, 2021 at 2:28 PM Thanks Jan,this was my first Andaree and took some time too. It takes work to make both the syllables and rhyme work.
