Summer Butterflies

blue winged canopy
of a thousand butterflies
can not compare to
the fluttering of my heart
when your eyes and mine are one

Faaaaaaaaantastic. Loved this so much I want to know what you would do with moonlit pond. (Cyndi ducks as a book is tossed at her head) Well, you could give it a go, anyways. (Cyndi dives for the couch, crawls for cover). What's one more poem, huh? (Cyndi winks and blows as kiss) This will place high. Ignore me, I just loved this so much that I actually wondered, "Holy, man, what would she have done with the other choice? Inquiring minds need to know!" LOL. Hope your well, I'm about to hit hay.
