Advice to a Butterfly, by Maxwell Bodenheim

Spinning gently weird circles,
To the flowers underneath
You are a drunken king of motion

My thanks to JLA Forums for bumping this to my attention, just because
I used the word "advice" in a subject header.

Bodenheim is one of the original poets of the free verse movement, who too sadly was crowded out, died in poverty, and is now forgotten. Bringing back his
poetry for a new generation is one of the things that makes all of the work I do on PPB worthwhile.

I overlooked this one twice, glad to see this free verse pioneer again in the spotlight.
