FlutterbyA Poem by CynRick KincaidFlutterby

Oh, this is simply delightful!
I love the metaphor of a butterfly to life... It got me thinking of this quote: "Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man." Posted 14 Years Ago1 of 1 people found this review constructive. |

It's nice, I love this part,
"So the next time you see a flutterby Take the time and delight in its wonder Share The magic with the love of your eye The lord cared just to let it flutter by" The rest I sort of flicked over because it didn't seem to intrest me but I noted some good imagery and unfortunately some bad too.

This was a superb poem in every respect. I too am a 'fan' of butterflies and like how you incorporated them with 'life' in this. A lot of work went into this and it shows. Although this doesn't tie in with the contest theme, I'm glad I had the chance to read it. I loved it. Well done! Thank you for sharing this with us.
