Butterflies and Autumn Skies

Butterflies and Autumn Skies

A Poem by Patricia Wedel
"

Discoveries on an October day

"
Along the sand dunes where wildflowers grow 

I spoke to a Scare crow (needing a Brain) who was dressed in 

straw-covered clothes... jeans and a red plaid shirt... 

I asked him if he had seen the Lion and he answered... 

"He is very cowardly and dived into the Wagon of Straw".     

So I inquired if he knew the whereabouts of the Tin Man.  

I was told that now he had a heart and was looking for Romance.  

We danced around the Autumn leaves where Acorns were 

falling around our heads and scattered along the Yellow Brick Road.   

Butterflies in autumn skies land on Chrysanthemums and 

orange red Pumpkins ready for pies.

Remember to give us a wave as you flit by, free from gravity, as we all look on jealously Pat. 😀
A beautiful thought, beautifully captured.

I sure hope he found love, that Tin Man..
these characters from the Wizard reflect many of us in society today...broken hearts, cowards, who just need a little faith in themselves.
wonderful allegory.

Hi Folks... October is a month with a full moon
where stories seem to come alive when
people believe in things that glow in the dark...
