Eileen sent me this picture to play with. So I did.

Poem Artwork

Consider a printed butterfly

As it spreads its wings for you and I

Its beauty not revealed in hues

But in sharing other’s written views

 

With only words turning forest green

A mountain white or lake serene

Imagination freed, emotion’s touch

The writer’s gift reveals so much

 

A child’s cry or mother’s tear

Joyful laughter or utter fear

Sunset’s image on golden pond

A fairy‘s twinkling magic wand

 

History future current past

Mysteries marvel memories last

Our little mascot has its ways

Of brightening each of all our days

 

What’s black and white and read all over

An origami butterfly on printed clover

Upon literary nectar it seeks to feast

Then spreads its prose from west to east

Patrick! This is absolutely beautiful. I have marveled at your mind for some time now, but generally for the great humor which you have always displayed. This is so loving, so touching, so wise...

WHO WROTE THIS FOR YOU???? EILEEN????

Well, I'm kidding about that, but only slightly. This really seems to take you to a whole new level.... Or maybe it's just the wine I've been sipping on.

I really do like this one, big fella. Dick

Only the news knows. There is something to be said for the written word. It is both revealing and rewarding. And comes to naught if not read. Your brilliant insight is showing.
