The Butterfly's dream

The Butterfly Years:

Life is like a butterfly..
Spread your wings and discover this huge blue sky!
Where you are just one…
A tiny insect when in the blink of an eye
You have gained a place in this world
Before you have to whisper,… good bye!

Three good things:
1. So hot I had to put shorts on - first time for about 10 years!
2. Made another risotto with the wonderful fresh tomatoes we have here. The secret is butter added at the last moment!
3. I am not a poet - not enough patience - or single malt, whatever!

Your poem? If so you’re better than you think! So hot....it sounds delightful, weather cold here but also delightful!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Yes, my composition but I'm really not happy with it. Didn't want to spend much time on it. Yesterday's weather was a summer special - -only on for a short time!

@grammyn Vous êtes trop gentil.. The butterfly was inside the window in the kitchen and I was just pleased all the drip marks didn't come out in the shot!

Nicely done, Maggie Mae! I've missed viewing your photos. I must catch you and the others up on my motorcycle adventures.....during which I somehow abandoned my 365 duties. :(

[Bankmann]

Butterflies dream of storms...

[Maggiemae]

@bankmann An enigmatic comment, Mr B!

[Bankmann]

@maggiemae
The butterfly effect’, you know? A butterfly beats its wings - and on the other side of the world a storm rages...

[CC Folk]

You crack me up, Maggiemae! Your risotto sounds delicious too! :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's a sweet little poem and a cleverly processed shot. Not a bad effort for one who says she's no poet.
