Afraid to Flutter~

She's like butterflies in the snow
ethereal beauty hidden in flurries
she peeks out at the view
always too meek to flutter
in her soul she's a wanton woman
alas, someone took her purity 
a blizzard that never passed
she keeps safely under wraps
hoping one day...just hoping

Even in the midst of the worst blizzard, your words my sweet friend warm the day and the heart. Passing through the flurries of doubt, the chill still wraps itself tightly about as her smile lingers somewhere inside where it is safe and warm. Frieda, your pen is filled with beauty this day and I am so thankful its ink has found my eyes. Beautiful, simply beautiful.

[Brittany Zedalis]

So much beauty in so few words. Amazing.

[Lyn Anderson]

This is such a beautiful and sad verse at the same time. A really captivating ride.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much KL, love that word 'captivating'...

[Neville]

How I missed this over the last four days I'll never know... Full of tantalizing imagery and sublime as well as subliminal flow... A true sensory delight... N

[Frieda P]

[Neville]

We all need hopes Frieda..one of mine is that your butterfly will find joy and happiness..If I were king I would make that a law.
Enjoyed this..too bad life makes us timid at times.

Very nice.
Admiration,
Scott

[Frieda P]

Butterflies my Lady never see snow. it would kill them. Another in the theme of withdrawing within and using the butterflies in there somewhere as always! It has a sad voice.

[Frieda P]

Oh pssh John, not as always, you must admit, I've gotten better, c'mon...........and you've never seen a butterfly in the snow, pity. I meant, thanks!

[Raymond Federle]

Very nice. Lovely poem. Sad but full of the future. :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your visit and review Raymond. :-)

[Pryde Foltz]

This is a very sad piece, Frieda. So much can be taken by just one horrible act.

[Frieda P]

Indeed Pryde, indeed, thanks.

[Vidya Bacchus]

[Frieda P]

Thanks muchly Vidya, and believe me, you just don't see those, I know better ;-)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Haha I hear you :P

Clever alliteration in the title. Is it even alliteration? Quite delicately exposes insecurity and I am sympathetic and drawn. Although hard to flutter in a storm, certainly this poem has wings and they are spread.

Lovely

[Frieda P]

Thank you for you lovely review xavier.

The title strikes me much... "Afraid to Flutter~" Many things in life, a person goes weak to many fear, doubts,mistakes, sorrow, sin, or just being hurt by someone or our own wrong choices... Yeah we hurt like no end, but there hope deep within our hearts that keeps us going, keep us living, going and going till oneday, someday in the future - the warm glow of summer will cease the cold...

Such beautiful poetry my friend...

[Frieda P]

Such beautiful words you share with me Pax 'the warm glow of summer will cease the cold', sounds like poetry to me, thanks so much my friend. x
