Blue Morpho
Blue lightning
edged with black thunder
in "spring"
you fly
free
always drinking
from the "flower"
of your choice
You crossed my path
the other day
I'm going through changes
so is the world
your wings fluttering
made this change we see today
no one saw the connection
except the ones
who know
"wheels" exist
within
wheels, without wheels
in life's sway
I've seen your armies
when you were only plant-chomping caterpillars
in the "mire" or on some trees
I've seen your swarms
My kaleidoscope
was no match for yours, in plural
You are angels
sent 'gold-tinted' 'sky-flakes'
of my loved ones
who went up
the stairway to heaven
rare and common
symbol of resurrection
and make chaste sex and love
with the man in the woman
and the woman keeping him in
in the blood of Eden
in the gardens of Eden
I see you always
light-hearted
care-free
happy
flitting
fluttering
soaring
symbol of soul and immortality
linked to the sun and hope
and spiritual ascent
linked to the light
as you are seen in the day-time
alone or in kaleidoscopes
You are me
I am you
And together
we always
overcome
death's dew
though it besmirches
the flowers
we try to drink from
we purify
the nectar
and live
ever young
fresh
and new.
It is April, the blue butterfly is here. So is the spring. What more do we need in order to celebrate the blue butterfly day? Love this poem by Robert Frost
Blue-Butterfly Day
by Robert Frost
It is blue-butterfly day here in spring,
And with these sky-flakes down in flurry on flurry
There is more unmixed color on the wing
Than flowers will show for days unless they hurry.
But these are flowers that fly and all but sing:
And now from having ridden out desire
They lie closed over in the wind and cling
Where wheels have freshly sliced the April mire.
The prompt today is to write a poem about the blue butterfly in the picture and include at least 5 elements/objects /words from Frost's poem ( spring, mire, flurry, flower, wheels, wind, sky-flakes, wing ). And if you can write a lyrical poem, nothing like it.
