Words Became Art

~*~

Words became art
       fractur'd phrasings
  ‘pon parchment glass slippers
          darkly dancing
   when she wielded her pen
        posy paint'd notions
          on butterfly wings
  taking our minds
       a'whirling senses
  midst mesmeric illusions
          dizzying zephyr’d vistas
'neath arbor'd enchantment
           hot cuppa whispers
   whilst inky stanzas
        of creative breaths 
          exhale’d poetry


Written in the style of a very dear 
poetic friend from my past who I greatly admired
