I enjoy this piece. As I imagined the butterflies wings...I was floating on your thought of delicate life... but I was distracted by thoughts of butterfly wings and their beauty. So your poem also reminded me how beautiful life can be even in its delicate state!!
Nice piece that opens the mindset!

This is pristine and gorgeous in its singular thought and image. There is a certain craft in handling sadness in a poetic form - we don't want to pretty it up to the point of loosing the poignancy and starkness of emotion but you balance it beautifully.

Butterflies are a fragile reminder indeed.

I love how you include a touch of reality with clear imagery and (as I see it; correct me if I'm wrong) a bit of dark humor.
Would love to read more on this one!

Short and sweet, very thought provoking, nice use of language.

I have read 5 or 6 of your poem now and each shows the depth of your intellect and measure of your emotional depth. You clearly have a talent for writing and the wisdom of a wordsmith, it was a pleasure to read your work Standing Ovation! I give it 5 out of 5 Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Simple statement made true and honest points. Life is very delicate and fragile. More than we can know. Thank you Tbear for sharing the excellent poetry.

A nice little piece but with a much deeper meaning! Life is delicate and so much more if only we know how to treat it well..
Nicely penned! I liked the metaphor as well ☺👍
