Simple Verse.19.Butterflies



Watch these butterflies on colorful wings
Merrily they flit from flower to flower
These delicate dancing dervishes,
Live joyously in Nature's balmy bower

Staying in captivity for days on end
Free at last from the binding cyst
Leaving behind their shackles and chains
Into boundless freedom, soar on wings swift

As light and fleet as the passing breeze
They fly all through the summer's day
Feasting on nectar is all what they do
Flowers en mass welcome these companions gay

These tiny miracles of grace capture our eyes
As they reel on wings colorful as rainbow hues
Alas, so fragile in form and structure
With the slightest touch, one can their frame bruise

While these jolly fellows float up and down
Children in ambush wait to trap these flies
Remember, in moments of gay abandon, danger lurks
Better fly fast, fly far, you lovely butterflies!

Remember, in moments of gay abandon, danger lurks Very truly said. Often in the midst of joy tragedy strikes. In the present instance, my heart goes out for the unfortunate school children of Peshawar school who lost their lives while in the prime time of their life and that too for no fault of theirs. May God rest their soul in peace.

You call the butterflies TINY MIRACLES OF GRACE, and that is precisely the role they play in the poem. It is a grace that comes from being alone but alert, and humans are especially hurt by slow degrees of loss. But the closely observing butterfly knows instinctually life is savoring nectar - and there's an abundance of it, and what he takes does not endanger the flower. It's a perfectly balanced ecology of bee and flower.

You have made a captivating expression on butterflies in this poem. Its nature, and picture with children and flowers have been impressively penned. I cite..These tiny miracles of grace capture our eyes / As they reel on wings colorful as rainbow hues Alas, so fragile in form and structure / With the slightest touch, one can their frame bruise..fine poem.
