Painted Lady

My heart flutters like a Painted Lady Butterfly 

as the soft raindrops are caught like sequins 

on rose petals as the music of the Lark brings 

memories of orchestrated violins... 

The azure blue of caring eyes and sighs  

of romantic Rendezvous spent with you... 

I become entranced by the embrace of your Smile

“The azure blue of caring eyes and sighs”
The play of colors and ethereal imageries intertwine so well with the entire poem. this brings back a strong sense of Saudade, each line has it's own magical impact on the reader. Absolutely beautiful!

Such a lovely write as the words flow so gently ;-]

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Willow... your review is refreshing like the
dew on roses when morning mist leaves a kiss of
morning glory petals. A Joy to read your words.
gently, Pat

dear Curt... when all is said and done... we still can be romantic... it takes a falling Star to catch your attention... but once you hold the Star and make a Wish... there is always a twinkle in your Eye. Be Brave and weather the Storm... there could be a Rainbow. gently, Pat

Your eyes see, your experience of the world around you make - the most beautiful poetry. Seems the smallest and the greatest ''whatever' becomes equally precious.. which of course, each should be. Don't you think? The Painted Lady and all other fragile fluttering beauties turn smiles and tears into subtle cures and love divine all loves .........- Thank you for every word, dear Petal.

dearest Em… you Speak as if you were a Lullaby in a field of Sighs… Lavender was never more scented … I Press Rose petals upon your Sweet Heart. tenderly, Pat

I love your metaphor and the softness of your words to show us the memories of love between the two;
such expressions in the blue eyes; the music of the Lark (always a bird, so metaphoric);to put the icing on the cake, a smile captivates. Oh those lost rendezvous'; now only a memory.
Love the poem, Pat
Best, B

dear J…. I needed that smile… the News has me in a dither… you have Aimed your quiver through the heart 💜 of the Matter.
Be still and wait for the Storm to pass. Be blessed and well. tenderly, Pat

You have to admire something so delicate as to look balletic as nature tries it's mightiest to blow it into next Tuesday. If you slow your breathing and listen very carefully, you will perhaps hear the butterfly saying "Wheeeee! Is that all ya got? More, more!" but be warned, butterfly is notoriously difficult to understand 😊🦋😊

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Lorry… the elusive Butterfly will have you under a Spell… after all is said and done… Amen Pat
