I’m Like a Butterfly

Posted on March 21, 2019 by Nadine

Standard

To love me is like catching a butterfly

That is always able of flying and escaping

You can’t cage me

Or own me or have me

I always fly

I always leave

Hello, Nadine. Thanks for leaving me a like on my Mom’s journal. Her “Nadine” who gave her the peach trees was a sister-in-law. I like the name very much, but don’t meet very many Nadines. 😀

THE COLLECTOR

When you talk
The air becomes filled with butterflies
And while you talk
…………………….Surreptitiously
I catch them in my hands
And put them gently in my pocket
And when I leave you
I go home
Take them gently from my pocket
And arrange them
…………………….Like this
On a piece of paper
So that when you find out what I am doing
And no longer let them loose when I am there
I can come home
…………………….And remember …

    I wrote it many years ago but it seemed such a perfect riposte to your poem. 🙂 So glad you liked it.
