Serendipity
An indigo and damask
butterfly
alights on my head –
enchanting adornment
Knitting I’ve laboured over
unravels in delight
Chalk birds
abandon their mournful cries
and celebrate
My eyebrows wing us
above the shadow doorways
to an appointment
with my muse
Euterpe
My poem was inspired by the painting: ‘Life-Secret 1: The Black Butterfly of Inspiration’ by Caroline Ireland, which I viewed during Bridport Open Studios event. See the image below.
