Wall decor

The flourishing butterfly tricked and caught mounted upon the board left to die and dry without a whimper custom framed and hung possessed to show and own

Dellena, Another honest voice, yours. Refreshing. Another way of defining poets is by what they are trying to do with their poetry. Before you get to the finished product, you have to have the right ambition. You have it. MSS

My dear, a capture. Like mere being, an example of some harsh realities undeniable, to always ponder to the core simply with viewing. As well, an elegant parallel to how some attempt to collect wives, lovers, even emotions...actually savoring little of the essence they can offer it ever more thought of beyond simply something to add to "wall decor". Very good. JCH

Dellena, the image of beauty become false beauty is striking. I feel the piece more strongly because growing up, I had many bug boards- not just for school but because I enjoyed the –picturesque- image of the collection. Truly an inspired metaphor. I wonder what, of your many purposes, this exactly refers to. I could guess but I’ll just take the image of the piece and apply it to a thousand applications where beauty is marginalized by those who believe they still hold beauty as a living item. Many do not see that the freedom of purpose is not the same as the beauty of freedom. That spirit, beauty- they will never own. NOTE: from those of us who have done such things- the bugs were always euthanized with a kill bottle before they were mounted (at least by me and everyone I knew). It doesn’t detract from the meaning, just making up for a little adolescent guilt.
