Socialite Butterfly

Has to be life of the party

Socialite Butterfly

In every garden

You must be

 

You leave me merely with

The powder from

Your chiffon wings

 

You're simply happy

When with others

Among all the neon colors

 

Dancing here

And there

Look at me

 

When you try to mimic

You mock the real flowers

Blind to what they truly see

 

Socialite Butterfly

Mere beauty or possessions

Does not bring

Happily ever after

Reviews

[Aethereal]

A well stated insight expressed in pretty little flower garden variety verses. In every garden, the beauty of a butterfly and a flower complement each other, but neither one replaces the other. For either one to try to outshine the other is futile.

[Beccy]

It's almost always a mask, though perhaps equally, it is simply that some can never see the beauty of a flower no matter how hard they look.

Beccy.

[Ciara Beth]

Ah, I like it! The whole idea twists in the last two stanzas. I like the overall idea of the piece because I agree with it!
