Question: Can poetic words "fly"!? !?
(inspired offshoot from one of Buk's poems)

Scenes from a Butterfly Collection
by Jellz Fisher 081003

Butterfly words,
flitter flutter across ,
blank spaces!.
Spreading beauty
in each moment!.

Unformed words
once lay
cocooned in minds,
providing safe haven,
hibernation,
until the time is right

Bursting free
into the air!
Colour full!
Vibrant and liberating!
Reborn, reformed!
Blessing the world!

Flying, falling, free!.
Silently capturing
reader’s feelings
and imaginings,
…in their own fragile nets
