To round off the theme, a guest poem from Uma Raman <umaraman@>

Butterfly
Down the air
    He falls sun-lazy
Debonair
    Upon a daisy;

Now he drifts
    To fall between
Snowy rifts
    Of scented bean;

And where petals
    Lift in flight,
There he settles
    Hid from sight.

     -- S. Thomas Ansell

The real test....
Read the poem out aloud. The musicality and rhyme actually make you
drunk as you follow this tippler's descent.

Uma

Dear friends,

That was a very beautiful poem. I can see the butterfly with all its beauty
gentling descending amidst the peace of a garden and the flowers. I wonder
who is this poet, what else has he or she written? Can Umaraman enlighten me
who is woefully ignorant?
