Butterfly

My friend was bold

Her skin was cold,

She floats like a butterfly

Disappears, in the blink of an eye.

This makes me think of an individual who was wild and reckless and lost their lives. Their soul now floats and disappears into the sky. It could have many meanings though. It is very thought provoking.

Thank you so much! I am glad you connected this piece to your vivid imagery.

the juxtaposition of the delicate/fragile image evoked by the title [&] the beautifully macabre contents of the poem is really breathtaking...

"Butterfly"- a lovely image of nature.. but i liked how you blended vivid imagery to being a metaphor of a girl.. your poem reminded me of a quote by Marilyn Monroe -A girl should be beautiful as a butterfly and hard to catch even"... Stunning lines here.. Will be quote for my Tee-shirt :p.. :)

So short but so damn thought provoking. I lie how you leave things open to interpretation.

[Mayank]

Absolutely loved the expression of so much in so few words! It conveys your thoughts clearly, yet leaving room for the reader to build on it as well. Comparing the ephemeral nature of a butterfly to the nature of a friend was a brilliant idea (I am, in general, a sucker for nature imagery). Great work!

[Mayank]

thank you so much AK, you were very close to what I thought while writing this. If you noticed, I used butterfly as a metaphor for girl.

[AK]

I think I did, 'her' and 'she' seemed to indicate that :)

I like how you used a butterfly to describe this. They are so beautiful but never stay around for too long and they disappear and leave you wondering. This was great, I love your writing style, never change : )

[Mayank]

thanks mate!
