Why

“Life is simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” (attributed to Confucius)

The fragrant flowers in Spring
flaunt their colors in the breeze

Why add paint to such an offering
Why bejewel the butterfly’s wing

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

I wrote a poem many years ago with the same title, so, of course, I was naturally drawn to yours.

This is truly a gift. You have captured so much beauty in so few lines. Such a rarity!

Thank you Linda for your kind words. I will read yours too!
