Yay Words! 
summer’s end
dried thistle flowers
in a vacant lot
[…] the I Doodle, You ‘Ku challenge, on Aubrie Cox’s Yay […]
untended pastures
summer blooms with
firefly glow
first frost drifting away on milkweed fluff
over there –
they seem so carefree
butterflies in milkweed
at the edge
of a field
the wind
keeps going
Each spring
Dad and our neighbour
met at the corner post and
walked the fence line–
“Good for another year!”
no more snow
between the lines
white butterfly

two roads converging a little butterfly
(with apologies to Frost and Issa)
Ahh, nice one!
Thanks, Tina! I wanted to work in something from Frost’s “fences make good neighbors” but it just wasn’t happening, so I had to take another road . . .
😉
Lovely!
when will it
set you free, butterfly…
the cocoon
butterflies
and barbed wire–
painful truth
through the barbed wire
and away –
seeds of new life
awakened
by the the sound of spring …
last day of school
on the other side
they seem so carefree –
the butterflies
undeterred by barbed wire fencing spring wind
cheating a little with a previously published poem…
between spikes
of the barbed wire
butterfly eggs
(Notes from the Gean 4:1)
alternatively:
land mines
the warning sign overgrown
with weeds
on the other side
of the barbed wire fence-
spring
Nice one!
Thank you, Rita!
from here
it’s not a barrier but
over his head dangerous things
teeter
Knowing one day
I’ll be all by myself
I comfort myself believing
you’ll be at the other side
where it’s better than spring
Oops! I meant “knowing” instead of “Knowing”.
I mean, hugs!
Thanks, Sanjuktaa! Hugs from friends are very much needed right now. 🙂
