Invitation by Enoch Thompson
by Patricia | 12.20.12
Excuse me, Winter,
Won’t you please come to tea
With the rustling wind
And yellow, red, falling leaves?
And when you leave,
Go giving a present–
A beautiful flower
Or butterfly pendant.
But please be swift.
The tea will be cooling
In the night wind.
With Love,
Sincerely,
Autumn

Love the Butterfly Pendant. Is this a butterfly body, dead and beautifully preserved among autumn leaves? That image just makes this poem for me.

I think he means, spring–when winter leaves and butterflies appear in company with flowers.
