Life is drama personified with episodes of both butterflies and dragons with a few butterfly dragons being tossed into the mix along the way.
Butterflies or Dragons?
Here is a teaser. . .
What are your triggers for inspiration…things that are seen or that which is unseen? Emotions through experience or feelings from the gut? Touchables or untouchables? Mirrored images or broken glass? Butterflies or dragons?
It is early morning. With eyes barely open, you stretch and yawn, afterward rubbing the sleepy matter crusted in the corner of each eye. Toes wiggle trying to ease foot cramps, legs ache from being in the same position too long, shoulders still feel tired from the weights not being lifted from the day before. Your feet hardly hit the floor when thoughts awaken your senses flitting and fluttering through the corridors of your mind. They dance angelically, yet fervently, much like the atala butterflies seeking the sweet, sweet nectar from summer’s enticing florets or greet you with a horrid headache as a result of fighting dragons all through the night.
With the day just beginning, what triggered those thoughts exactly, so early with daylight scarcely visible? Hey, you are hardly awake! You haven’t even had the tiniest hint of caffeine to jolt your brain cells into action or set your eyesight on what the day even looks like.

It looks like a “Pseudo Dragon” from when I used to play Dungeons and Dragons 🙂
Great post Sharla. Thanks for sharing
As for my triggers for inspiration. It can be anything. Something I see, something I hear, even something I say. Sometimes I will think something and create an entire poem in a couple of minutes.
That is awesome! Imagery is definitely my inspiration…sometimes it is real and other times simply mental.
Yeah mental imagery has been the basis for quite a bit of my poetry
This is beautiful and thought provoking. I have shared in on Twitter and on my writing page http://www.facebook.com/quirkybooksnet Thanks.
