Beautiful Butterfly.

Oh, beautiful butterfly fluttering in the sunshine, what are you seeking?

Oh, beautiful butterfly fluttering in the sunshine, do you seek happiness?

Oh, beautiful butterfly fluttering in the sunshine, do you seek love?

Oh, beautiful butterfly, I can relate to you.

For, I am seeking something, too.

For, I am seeking happiness, too.

For, I am seeking love, too.

Oh, beautiful butterfly, fly away into the unknown.

Oh, beautiful butterfly, fly away into the sunset.

Oh, beautiful butterfly, fly away and find what you know.

Oh, beautiful butterfly, oh, how I wish I could be in your place.

Oh, how I wish I can sore across the skies with no worries in the world.

Oh, how I wish I can search into the unknown and find my happiness.

Oh, beautiful butterfly.

Aw, this was beautiful :)

I loved your imagery, and I also loved the subject you chose for the poem. Butterflies are so amazing and such free creatures- I'd like to be like them myself someday, haha.

I really enjoyed this. It was such a pretty piece of poetry!

The average butterfly lives for less than two weeks. They seek to procreate successfully before they die. They possess no brains and respond only to the stimulus around them with a simple nervous system.

Sorry, just too cliche for me. Not enough poetry, not enough of a plan behind it. I see that you are young so I hope this doesn't sound too harsh - I'm a bit of a negative person, so maybe it's just that I don't follow your Lisa Frank butterfly obsession. I mean, they're beautiful, don't get me wrong - but c'mon. Anyway, this is not a judgment of you personally - just this poem. I'll check out some of your other work soon. Keep on writing :)
