Beautiful first stanza--captivating. It drew me in immediately. Honey and nightshade paints a magical image. You strike the same cord with "hope grown in chrysalis." Incredibly vivid imagery there. The entire work has a tremendously ethereal edge to it. I wish I had a six to share. As I don't, my friend, please accept a virtual. ****** This is truly deserving. Beautiful free verse.

Comment from mystery poet
In three powerful lines you use creativity
to form a caterpillar into a butterfly.
The use of perfect words has evoked an express
imagine of the miraculous birth of one of the
most exquisite creatures on earth.
It is no question what the love of God can do.
My opinion, of course, and you bring it to life
in these beautiful words...

A beautifully stated opinion and one that I agree with completely. Wonderfully poetic comment in its own right. An uplifting and thrilling response to my little poem. I am so delighted that it affected you in such a positive way. Thank you so much for this exciting response and all of these stars, mikey

You are very welcome to my humble
response...Your work evoked my
appreciation for these lovely winged
creatures. Sigh...I recently had two
to fly up to my face seemingly without
fear...I was amazed. Have a great night.

I enjoyed reading your poem, " Wings." It beautifully describes the transformation of creatures and people. It is wonderful to watch such a transformation of someone we love. Guided by love, the wings of freedom to become who we are meant to be is so precious. Rubylou

I think you have put it so beautifully. Yes, it is quite lovely to see the one you adore blossom before your eyes into what you already realize they are. Wonderful insights. Thank you very much. mikey
Comment from Nichola
How beautiful, this poem is. I love
"It is honey
and nightshade
that coaxes
a butterfly to beauty" - just wonderful.
You have a very nice pattern with your words as well.

Comment from Dean Kuch
That it is, my dear friend, that it is...
Love, amore, affection, adoration, friendship, tenderness, feeling, fondness, devotion, passion, ardor, amity
darling, dear, dearest, sweetheart, honey...
It has lots of names, many different connotations attached to it, the most important, I feel, is happiness. When you find that soul-mate, that one, true love, happiness is a given.

Love you response. I must figure out how you do that. Amazing. Yes, I agree. Happiness is the perfect word that describes it. Well put, mikey

HTML color codes, Michael. If you want green font, you simply place this code: to the left of the font, and this code: to the right of it. The only difference is the backslash in the one to the left. It's very simple, works the same for all colors...
...SEE?, LOL....

well, no. hahaha. but, I have a clue now. html is a starting point. I will study that and see if I can figure it out. thank you. reminds me of when electronic keyboards came out. made me wonder why I learned piano since they played themselves. hahaha.

The script is hard to read, Michael, but the poem is outstanding. I love the insightful revelation, made the more powerful by its utter simplicity. I love 'hope grown in chrysalis'. Great metaphor. The whole poem is just beautiful.

What a wonderful uplifting and exciting late night surprise! I am so delighted. I tried to fix the type as you suggested. I used that IMPACT type face. You are right. It is a bit much. I think it is better now. Thanks for pointing it out. I have a big smile now and everyone thinks I am crazy. They are right! ha! Thank you so much, mikey
Comment from Sankey
Very nice. Touch romantic as well. No history on this one?? Is this from your early daze? Where did the pic come from?
Good work, No Spags. I just put two new works in the book case and started reviewing your stuff. Better get on with some of my own work.

This is about four or five years old maybe. I don't remember really. Not too far back. The picture is off Google. Girl with butterflies. A nice one. Glad you liked it. Ran across a book of song lyrics and a box of tapes. Maybe I can figure out how to use them. Cover your ears my friend! hahaha, mikey
-
Box of tapes as in Reel to reel or Cassettes? I do have a way of transferring Cassettes to CD's Long process but can be done can recommend you some options
-
I have this thing I bought on line that takes the casettes and puts them in the computer and then I can make cds from that. I am just not very good at it and the casettes are noisy and poor quality. ha! they used to have to plug my guitar in for me! not he most technical boy on the block!! mikey

This is a real beauty! See---you found your groove, maybe, found your signature. Would make a good valentines card. I see---no errors, but there are those more worthy to judge. But isn't beauty in the eyes of the beholder? I see---your experiencing with love poems and improving considerately. Also, your climbing to the top of the ladder. Work really pays off, I need to get motivated! your a mentor. Later Mike, wackydo

You will find that all you can do is write. Who knows what is good or what isn't. The hardest thing to figure out is your own stuff. Best just to throw it out there. I am shocked sometimes at what people like. Climbing really is just work. Post and review. The more you do the higher you go. It helps if it is good. But, then the more you do the better it gets. I sound like a high school football coach. hahaha. My team really sucked! I was the offensive left end at 5' 8'' so that will give you an idea! Did I mention I ramble? mikey

Thanks for your reply, I suck up words like a cow sucker. The way you experiment with words and the spacing, lines gave me an idea? Is it against the law to envent new poems like the sonnet? I'm thinking of a twister poem, shaped liked a tornado, called a twister. Also, a poem called a scrabble poem, looks like scrabble but a poem. Maybe, you have some ideas? I got to get to work and experiment with this two new types of poems. Feel free to comment or add something. After all, you gave me the idea, the way you twist & experiment with poems. wackydo
