Flutterbye

Visual Prompt Provided by Magpie Tales

Butterfly

She whispered
to the dark shadow
passing.

Flutterby

She spoke
to the sense of doom
looming.

Flutterbye

She said 
to death entering her
thoughts.

I 
am not ready
to die.

    Are we ever ready for death?

    Hopefully, death will fly in another direction.

    Perhaps the soul can flutter further, though and reach new heights?

    If a butterfly could speak or write, it would say exactly this! Let me live! Longer, please! I really like your title too! So fitting to the butterfly tale/fate.

    I like the way you used the different incarnations of butterfly as a structure for the poem. Nicely done.

    Eerie. I liked the way you gave the character's resistance strength--turning the darkness into something small as a butterfly and as ephemeral.
