~Poetry's Whimsy~

I thought I had dreamt you

you appeared out of  filtering light

as though you could read my mind

you asked me to dance

violins were playing a vibrant tango

you glided me across the floor

as if two entangled butterflies

floating on air

caught my breath in a whisper

no words could escape

we spoke with our eyes

melting into each other's hearts

I felt a zephyr blow my hair

realized you had placed wildflowers there

I found you in poetry's machinations,

   endearingly perpetuating my capricious whimsy

"I felt a zephyr blow my hair
realized you had placed wildflowers there

I found you in poetry's machinations,
endearingly perpetuating my capricious whimsy"
This poem is like flowing on the air , dancing in the meadows , soaring above the clouds. You perpetuate the dance of life within all the distractions and noises...:)

Wow Sami, what a lovely review, thanks so much, you've brought the end of day to a close with a smile on my face my sweet friend. :-)

This is so beautiful. I was carried away by these words:

I felt a zephyr blow my hair
realized you had placed wildflowers there

*Sigh*

a dream I wish we could all hold near and breath life into!

Your words lend an airy,floating and gentle feeling to this piece. Great diction and syntax and love the structure. Purple is sooo enlightening!

Frieda, you have made my morning cup of coffee even more pleasant because as I sip it I get to read another one of your splendid pieces. Oh, and the butterflies fluttering to & fro make me smile even more:) :)

How very sweet! This piece dances down the page. The imagery here is breath taking.
And I absolutely LOVE the butterflies!!
Well done!

Another powerful and wonderfully penned poem, really effective. I feel 'zephyr' is your favorite, you use it a lot in your poems. And these butterflies are also cool. Great work, Frieda!

I have these sort of fantasies - she`s normally twenty-five and is pouring her drink over my head. Still a nice thought, though Frieda. P.
