A waterfront park, peppered
with raucous crows and loud,
laughing people.
A multi-hued butterfly flutters
over parkscape, and the hue
and cry subsides.
The extraordinary is unpinned,
flutters free too, is available
in every moment.

“Extraordinary” was my August 10th poem for the postcard poetry project. I used a contemporary card of views of La Conner, Washington. I mailed it to Karen in Corvallis, Oregon.
Blessings to Karen and all, Andy
P.S. This is my personal favorite so far.

I sure like the image “the extraordinary is unpinned, / floats free”–the whole poem, and the reader’s perceptions, take flight here. I can see why this one is your favorite!
Thank you Jennifer!
