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.

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

Thanks Jan,this was my first Andaree and took some time too. It takes work to make both the syllables and rhyme work.
