RGstar:
''My writing is compelled by things I see,
every picture that be, every sound in me.
every rose, every tragedy, every joy, every hate,
every love...for words are who I am.''

    Suzanna Ray: Dear RG, I am re-writing this review because I think the first one did not go through.

    This poem is absolutely beautiful. The recurring phrase of the Yellow Butterflies negates the Sin full things being done in the preceding stanzas. And in the end they bring joy and happiness. -
    karenina: Yellow Butterflies! Top ranked poem for February! So well deserved, my friend. Heartfelt Congratulations!--Karenina -
    Vangma: Congratulations, RG, a well-written poem striking straight at the heart. -

RGstar: NOTHING IS SADDER THAN SONGS WHICH CANNOT BE HEARD,BEAUTY THAT CANNOT BE SEEN BUT FOR NOISE OF THE MADDENING CROWD THAT SCREAM ONLY TO ITSELF IN HOPE OF A GLORY WHICH ONLY ITSELF BELIEVES. So dull the path where concrete blocks replace flowers, where beauty of mind is forgotten, and all that is left is a staircase to a glory of which is not glorified... bound...though sad the sound...a desolate climb through own fear. But...there is hope that one day, the rhyme will appear, the flowers will grow, trees will once again know the reason they are trees, and so thrive, thus all around them shall appear new growth. Once again there will be joy in walking that path, where all things of beauty surround. Until then, dear friends, until then...
    crybry67: Beautifully said, RG....until then.... -
    evesayshi: Beautiful! This is the work of the poet I respect and admire... -
