Julie Butler

Ulverston, UK

My name is Julie Butler and I am 36 years old. I live with my parents and our wonderful West Highland Terrier "Jamie". I have many interests which include Fine Arts and Antiques and Dolls Houses/Miniatures. I love reading any subjects to do with matter of the mind. I qualified as a hyprotherapist in 1991. I love painting and have done many portraits in oils. I have enjoyed writing my poems and hope you enjoy wading them.

A Smile

A smile will brighten up your day
come on - give it a try!
The corners of your mouth turn up
There, now don't be shy
Now if you're feeling down or blue
To brighten up your day
You need a smile form me to you
To make your world less grey
And when you see a smiling face
Your heart becomes quite light
As warmth and kindness filter in
Your day becomes quite bright

Fiddle

The fiddler play son
With his fiddle and bow
A tune so inviting
'Till hardly you'll know
The merry tune waits
For the fire in your eyes
He's captured your soul
With his friendly disguise
The lyrics they'll 'will' you
With words said to jest
His music demanding
Your soul is the test
The dancers entranced
By his fiddle-dee-dee
Their eyes tell the story
His souls, they will be
The fiddler plays faster
With your heart, strums the beat
But you can't stop the dancing
Almost dead on your feet
The fiddler now plays
Tunes full of delight
With the merriment over
He flies into the night
Your soul he has taken
With lies in his eyes
His trust, you had given
To his 'friendly' disguise
