THE
BUTTERFLY AND
THE NIGHTINGALE
…
are two animals that appear more frequently in the poets’ melodious
compositions.
This
game is reserved for who has a poet’s heart, for who knows to run behind the
dreams and for who knows how to smile without an apparent cause. Each player
thinks a fanciful question (What is the joy ? Which taste have the tears ? What
is the price of a thoughtless laugh ?) or a poetic sentence (The water that you
tie in the fist, will free itself. The moon’s light walks among the trees and
it stops on the lake’s shore. My happiness is in your joy !) Who has ready a
question lifts his right hand, who has in his mind a sentence lifts his left
hand. The first player calls a partner that has ready a question. After that he
will put it to the other players, it will be his turn to point out one of them
with his left hand lifted. Listening his sentence, he will have the answer to
his question. Who has given the answer will point out another player ready to
ask a question and so on.
Questions
and answers will be paired casually and it will be this that could give life to
extraordinary images.
