Butterflies

Carla J Suggs 1953 (CA)

Bright colors flashing
Swirling
Rising
Floating
Tumbling about  
Feathers on the winds

New love has found me  
Lightening my heart
Lifting me up
Awakening deep within me  
The memory of its call
The flutter of excitement

Butterflies all

Carla J Suggs

Masters in English/Creative Writing Currently writing several tales, one of which is the beginning of a science fiction series. I also write YA, romance, and fantasy; not necessarily in that order. I used to be an active poet on the old site. Luckily, I saved my poetry before the site tanked. I'm going to assume that all records of awards, publishing, and mentions are gone as well? A pity. more…
