If I fashioned you a butterfly

Butterflies are forever

 

If I fashioned you a butterfly

 

 

If I fashioned you a butterfly

with platinum round its wings,

diamonds for its body,

would this your smile bring

 

The faintest hint of blue to see

in stones aqua marine

Would you keep it with you always

and somehow think of me

 

If I put it on a silver chain

that glistened like a star

Would you wear it every day

no matter where you are

 

Would it make you happy,

till all your days were through

If I fashioned you a butterfly…

and sent it off to you

Its delightful Jack in that old fashioned way - with class and panache.

Now on a different note - I have to admit I was drawn to it because the little window at the right which truncates the poem titles if they are over a certain length, was advertising a poem by Jack called "If I fashioned you a butt".
Im being puerile though.

I like this style.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much, someone else pointed that out to me to...I figured, what they hell, if it sells the poem, it sells the poem. Thanks again my friend.

[ANTO]

LOL - very astute of you and of course philosophical Jack

[Angel]

Romance, star lit waltzed, flowers, walking along beautiful beaches...and now, a diamond butterfly? Set in platinum, no less, and hung upon a silver chain...
My gosh, Jack...methinks you just might be in love.
:D
I only hope the lucky girl appreciates you, my friend!!

[Jack...]

Well if not, know that I appreciate you my friend. Thank you so much

[Holly Mason]

lovely thoughts
it is rare that I find a piece so well done-hahahha
thank you fine sir, quite lovely and very believable you are a musician, a poet, a painter ...why not a jewelry maker*)

[Jack...]

If I were a jewelery maker, you'd be my gemstone. Thanks Holly.

[Brianna Brie]

Thank you

[TL Boehm]

This is a heart melting poem. If the grinch read this his heart would grow FOUR sizes....

[Jack...]

I didn't think I could smile much more today...you just proved me wrong. Thank you so much.

[Angi]

Are you a jeweler, too? Mr. Romantic and diamonds?! Now that is a combo any girl could fall for. Beautiful Jack! Angi~

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Angi.

I guess Marie beat me to the butterfly & your poem. You know what that picture conjures up in my mind, if it really exists I need to find myself one of those. What can I say Jack, really.

[Jack...]

Thanks Frieda and yes I do know...why do you think I wrote it?

[Frieda P]

You like to make me cry like a big baby....xo

[Sami Khalil]

Your words are the wind beneath those butterfly wings...Well done...:)

[Jack...]

Thanks Sami

[Sami Khalil]

My pleasure...:)

[David Scott]

Ah... a sweetness pervades this write. I think this may be a hobby of yours?
I enjoyed the sing song meter to this poem Jack. It reads as gently as a bedtime story.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much David. Poetry is my hobby, I have only crafted one piece of jewelry in my life.

[David Scott]

Well, you have crafted many "jewels" in your poetry Jack! Best not to spread our talents too thin anyhow...

[Jack...]

Thanks David. I wasn't trying to be snippy, though I think it may have come across that way. And you would be surprised at how thin I am spread right now...my friends have taken to calling me margerine. :)

[David Scott]

Ha! I did not feel any snip in your response. You are today as ever a gentleman.
