What is this?

What is this?

A Poem by Yellow Butterfly

Blink and you'll 

miss it..

Where to find it is a mystery..

Usually hanging out

not as easily noticed where there's a crowd

But look closely

and you might just see..

Right there, look again

how you can miss it twice is beyond me

A coat all in black 

one of a kind

Blossoming nature

similar to that

of a 

chrysalis 

changing in form with a purpose

Hungary for challenges 

to broaden 

ones mind

The need for a sweet nectar 

delicacy 

feeding the soul 

Finding its way in this wonderful

universe of harmony 

and tranquility..


Have you worked it out yet?


This is me...!

This is charming also. We read about the poet putting her mark down, saying, 'Hey this is me.' I didn't work it out, though I should have done! But I get it now. I esp like the 'need for sweet nectar', as yes, we poety types definitely need that. And going back a line or two I also like the sense of the poet being a normal part of the rest of us, yet being slightly special too. That puts the poet firmly in the here and now. Yet the poet looks beyond the immediate of the ordinary to think about what is beyond the crowd, what is bigger than us as a walking around street scene. There is gentle wit in the poem and a confident grin also. I think this is better in terms of wording than the signpost write which is more about relating the event than this one which is about playing with the words for the poety fun of it. I reckon if you write a thousand poems this might be the one that is your sort of 'Hello' poem.

wonderful..you took up the challenge and pushed yourself in a direction that was new and you embraced it. That is why this works so much..As I progressed through the piece it picked up the tempo and the feel - for me the ending was sublime..perfect my dear :)

This is so much fun to see you growing as a poet and trying new forms and then throwing out all the rules and the pieces you are producing are astounding indeed!

I got it in one... and felt the flutter as you hovered in your quest for nectar...

Do you my flowers?
