Easter

The air is like a butterfly
With frail blue wings.
The happy earth looks at the sky
And sings.

    I have illustrated this poem

    From guest Miriam A. Kilmer (contact)
    You can see my illustration at http://www.risingdove.com/miamiblue/images.asp I am Joyce Kilmer's granddaughter. The illustration was commissioned by my sister Anne Kilmer Hillis in an effort to preserve the Miami Blue butterfly.

    This is picturesque I feel. It is simple it is serene and it moves in a glide that is quaint. A good piece that Joyce has written here.

    All I got.
