Ideas are like butterflies <br />Flapping by some alighting <br />Laying a row of ideas on the brains leaf <br />Slowly maturing <br />Hanging in their chrysalis state <br />Waiting for the time of birth <br />Slowly emerging in the mind <br />Wings inflating for flight to the paper <br />Arriving and evolving <br />Another piece has been born <br />Placed into the open for the reader<br /><br />Gordon D Wilkinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ideas-as-a-reply-to-a-question/
