Butterflies, Sherlock Holmes

Prompt: "The butterfly counts not months but moments and has time enough." Rabindranath Tagore Write anything you want about butterflies.

Butterflies are the most beautiful insect. They don't hurt humans. They fly from flower to flower and all over. They start out as a caterpillar and become a beautiful butterfly. They are so free and add color to nature and the world. My husband saved a butterfly that was trapped in the screen in our window in the garage. I use to wear butterfly necklaces all the time and I liked using butterfly brads and embellishments to scrapbook. I see a butterfly and I realize winter is over. I hope to see one soon. They are such delicate creatures. I love seeing them. I enjoy seeing pictures of them and I have etched butterflies on one of my trash cans. I would like to be as beautiful and free as a butterfly.

Prompt: Sherlock Holmes. How do we feel about him?

I think he was a good detective and his shows are funny but he got the job done. I like when the Professor and the skipper on "Gilligan's Island" were Holmes and Watson. The Professor made a good Sherlock. We need a good Sherlock today to solve crimes. He is from Scotland Yard. I always think of Scotland Yard as some big yard. Sherlock Holmes is a household word. If only he was real.
