I thought it would be a lovely way to celebrate 500 of you wonderful followers by reblogging this collaboration with the wonderful Hasty Words. Enjoy!
Wings by HastyWords
WRITTEN BY JANE GOOD AND HASTYWORDS
Flocks of butterflies landed in front of me
Oranges, blues, and wine colored reds
Their wings were a cacophony of beats
Stitching my wounds with rainbow threads
Transfixed by nimble and delicate flight
I contemplate their careful crimson dance
My motionless body masks my delight
Viewing a rare moment of flighty romance
The carefree display of life on barbs of light
And the way they give nothing to the past
At rest or in motion, always in the moment
Speaks a needed truth into my troubled soul
Oh, if I could ascend from my tainted reality
Unimpeded in my search for meaning
I would join these creatures in heavenly flight
My colors would change from dark to bright

Thank you so much for writing with me 🙂 Congrats on the 500 followers!!!
No, again, thank YOU! I was never confident enough to write poetry before you and David too. You guys have brought this out in me and I love it. It’s such a lovely way to express yourself.
Well done, Janey!!!!
Thanks Rob 🙂
Lovely poem, both of you! Week done on reaching 500 my BBFF… Couldn’t happen to a better girl!! Jealous in the best possible way…
Thank you MH! I’m so delighted and still in a state of disbelief.
You are an amazing blogger and deserve the best 🙂
Big kudos, girlie!!! Keep the great stuff rolling… Me and the other 499 love you!
But YOU are one of my favourites 😀
And your mine!! Plus we have that Whitney karaoke thing going on… It’s like we’re twins! Well, that actually works better for me than for you. You’re way to young to have a twin my age…. Unless it was a super long delivery. Like 20 years long. Awwwww… Our poor mother…
We do a great Whitney impression. I can tell from your writing ha!
I know, poor mom. I think she’s held it against me ever since, but I do like to make an entrance 😀
You were with the wait. Plus I was like 20 before I had to share any love or affection with you, so it’s all good! 😊 Ahhh…20 years as an only child… A twin who never had to wear matching dresses or Thing One and Thing Two shirts. The list of benefits just keeps growing! Gaha!!
But then I came along and you shared all your clothes with me. And I got your hand-me-down which were always very stylish. Shoulder pads For The Win!
BWAHAHAHA!
What a lovely poetic duo. Beautiful 🙂
I’m so glad you like it Melanie 🙂
