Best Butterflied Poems

The mulberry fell to its knees;
in Smith-Gilbert Garden, it prays,
near the moss-stone steps;
and I look on, in curiosity.

It was an oddity, but I learned
of its plight. In sorrow, we make
it right, a great fall onto infrangible ground.
Like a bonsai tree, twisted.

Listed, like a ship at...

I need a day off
from this irritating cough
i need a day off
from the snickers, smirks and scoffs
I really need a day off
from all these butterflied up moths
 
will I ever get a break
from this sickness, keeping me awake
will I ever get a break
from admitting my...

As if time has stalled for but a moment
 above the pleasures of a new day’s play
 Fantasy seems to have taken a holiday 
 under full sails of this craft this day

 The sun sleeps behind a storm cloud’s brew
 The moon wanes in...

I'm living in the moment & you're looking for forever, I'm being the best worse me, I am way too clever, I can lap you in a drag race, I'm way ahead of my time a real conundrum in space

My name is semaj
Far distant planet I hail
Distress beacon sensed
Civilisaton to fail
 
Negative scents
Disturbs my thoughts
This paradise place
Millions distraught
 
Gravity erratic
Tides adrift
Earth unbalanced
Out of orbital shift
 
Racolny,
The butterflied winged elf
Has captured their moon
In wanton stealth
 
As earth spins 
Against the void
It's spin of shift
Will ultimately...

There's an eatery here in my hometown I'd heard about,
That features exotic wild animal fare so I thought I'd check it out!
I perused the menu and here are a few examples of its bizarre cuisine:
Slow-broiled and marinated Indian elephant spleen;
Delectable bar-be-qued Texas style rib of...

In many of ways–so too–in many of features
when your former look reached my soul 
by first-rate time up a park sit out;
very clear my mind might reminding
then, of the way that dressed rain day gonna!

In the spaces was allowing befogs concrete

Many patterns appearing within grasp these few months avoiding them like hurdles cuz they reach into my depths to much
expanding and evolving, scaling my thoughts, weighing 1,2, or 3 tons just mathematical coincidence, sends me into a sphere'd sum,
replications and ratios, dimensional roots of perfection...

SONGBIRD COLUMBINE, OH MY

Riveting in a garden retreat, a blast
of colorful wings, these petals that sing
on a perch of the sun with a flowery cast
— a chorus line of bluebirds late Spring.

Songbird Columbine, oh my what a tweet.
You embellish my rock garden with love.
I gaze...

We live by the sea, just we two, you and me
It offers us all that we need
From our heads to our toes, you make all of our clothes
From sea grass and sometimes sea weed

If our ocean provides it, you will utilise it
I so like the...

A name on the tip of a tongue.
A father caught in traffic, who never made the party.
A mongrel fighting a lion,
whose only reason for living was the one for which he was dying.

Were you here yet changed so much?
Never be recognised; a caterpillar-butterflied.
But I tried...
...and...

NO  SURRENDER  YET



Here in the snow-ridden  
Embattled days of February

The eyes close and we think of 
Green May’s glory of grass
And butterflied June.

We wait for the last snowflake
To surrender and show 
The white flag for good....

THE  YEARLY  DOZEN

The slow worry of bright empty January,
Lies here under snow-ridden
Cold-fingered February on a frozen levee,
Endures embattled days with
March’s gales around the gables;
April’s gala fields of daffodils,
And a doubtful vision that may be
Green May’s glory of grass,
With flowering, butterflied June,
Before July’s shimmering...
