Dear Christine, It is a lovely write, I wish I had read your poem when I was ten years old. I used to love them and catch them and display them on my science teacher's desk. For that I used to receive a good grade. Now I must give a good grade for this great and compassionate poem. Love Emile
The little train that could! I looked at the picture of your butterfly before I read the poem Christine and looked again after having done so, and to my surprise I saw a beautiful bald eagle in it's place. Well done and thanks, *Glen*
In this pleasant and proud moment, it honors me to be privileged to read a poem dedicated to my name. I am grateful to Your poetic light.
May Mother-Poet, – the author of this unique Poem, “You”, – keep feeding the humanity of Your mind to nourish the eternity of your soul.
I have enjoyed the reading of "Take My Wing".
In gratitude and admiration.

After the review of Mr. David Livingstone, the third from the bottom up I must spend time reading your pieces posted on this site.
This poem does inspire and give a special nourishment to the soul. I am impressed with the magical light of your pen. Please, never stop posting your works.
Yes this write is one that does do justice to the pure magic of a butterfly's flight path that can range so very far in such a short span of time. Amazing little pretties.
Very, very well done Christine. Beautifully expressive free verse that brings the imagery to life in the mind of the reader. I welcome your wing but still long for all of you. You must be an Angel to many. God bless you. (((HUGS)))
Wonderfully original perspective and marvellous allegory, Christine. This seems like it should be a classic fable. Such strong images yet with gentle telling detail. Much depth in this concise and clean-cut poem. TY Kate xx
Very intriguing write you have penned..I especially like the way you ended it..Thanks for sharing your amazing work.
Peace, love, and light,

"Take My Wing" is a beautiful poem. The combination of the enduring wisdom and the continuing metamorphosis makes its imagery richly unique. I read an inspiring wonderful Free Verse poem.
They are one of God's beautiful creations. Loved the picture.

THIS IS A MASTERFUL PIECE. I LIKE ITS IMAGERY, THE SUSTAINED RHYTHM, ITS MUSICALITY; AND ITS INSPIRATIONAL CONTENTS. I COULD TAKE THIS AS A SAMPLE OF WHAT "Free Verse" is, and how its poetic magic flows.
I admire the atmosphere in this Den here! It makes me remember the graet Master Ralph Waldo Emerson, for he was never tired when it came to promote his literary peers. A good example was Walt Whitman.
Artists, poets and writers should always join forces to promote their works. One dedication here, a citation there, all counts to place their peers in evidence. To close this I will quote the German Autor/Poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: "Who is the happiest of men? He who values the merits of others, and in their pleasure takes joy, even as though as they were his own.”
I am very familiar with the works of the dedicatee, and join the author of "Take My Wing" to send my appreciation to him.
I did enjoy the reading of "Take My Wing", and am most grateful to its author for the release of such a beauty that glows in fraternity.
From the Caribbean Sea to Machu Picchu in Peru, and from birds to flowers and butterflies, Reflections and Treasured Wonders offers a collection of images gathered from around the world.

for life is an experience not to be missed.
