Butterfly Kingdom

Butterfly Kingdom

A Poem by Starrbitt

I speak the story about these radiant people and their kingdom
the way their butterfly wings beat on the open air
how the flowers stretch to the sky
pink,red,white petals painting their hair
the winged children opening their arms to the sun
dragonfly's running their fingers along the tips of grass,
passing everyone
humming birds humming a tune to the new-born baby's
streams trickling,dew drops glistening,
a place where bumble bees,squirrels,ants,and all the rest hold hands
where love is spread with tender love and care
I should know
I'm the butterfly king
the one with the golden wings
sceptor in hand to bloom the entire land
summer to spring
autumn to winter
put my kingdom to rest when the days are bitter
The butterfly kingdom and I

Author's Note

Starrbitt
I got the idea from a butterfly garden.They were all sitting on flowers,wings twitching and I couldn't help but think about how it reminded me of a kingdom.

Do you guys think I should keep the "I should know.I'm the butterfly king."?

This is just beautiful! The imagery is portrayed perfectly, the idea is very creative.
The only thing I minded was the rhyming scheme; perhaps you should've kept it through the whole poem.

BEAUITFUL!!! The "I should know. I'm the butterfly king" kind of takes away from it a bit, but otherwise, it's perfectly fine. You have a definite, beautiful description and I love the natural feel you have to it, the way the words flowed...it was wonderful. Thanks! It didn't seem to rhyme though. But I don't mind =) I don't mak emy poems rhyme either. Hehehehehe
