Intuition

There is a butterfly

With wings of glass

Blue as the ocean or

The heavens when

Uncovered by clouds

There is a butterfly

With an icy stare

That instantly pins me

To her heart

And with her

A twinkling sound as

She flutters before me

Whilst leaving a trail

Of crystals amid

A snowy landscape

For me to behold

And carefully tread

As she pours a whisper

Into the air for

The wind to carry

Forward and be felt

Reminds me of a series of paintings - perhaps miniatures, set to show how to.. live in a place where emotions can be true to their source, how they feel and what they find gentle in their lives. Gentle writing in fact, subtly colourful.. opening a window to let in some air.. perhaps.

I really enjoy your interpretation. It's a refreshing view for me. Takes me somewhere I haven't been. Thank you so much for your review.

May I explain via your wording: glass wings; cloudless blue sky; icy stare - alluring; twinkling trail of crystals; snowy landscape - trail of foot steps to guide perhaps; whispers into the air - to beckon. Different scenes, different intentions?

I enjoyed the fact that I felt her icy stare. As though I was chasing her whisper, to pin her to my heart.

Thank you Alex, I'm so happy you feel my words in such a way.

I'm glad I found your writing. You have a great style that's soothing.

I am not as active as I have been. It makes me happy you get something out of this old pen of mine. Thank you so much for your words =)

I first thought you were new until I saw all the poems. I enjoy finding old treasure. I'll be reading more soon.

Your poem flows like a breeze, enveloping the reader with a subtle nuance of feels. I can feel the sentence give me tingles like some sort of ASMR trigger, keeping me alert yet in a state of complete bliss. Very visually and mentally stimulating read. Enjoyed it a lot.

I have penned a piece with a concept of a butterfly as a token of friendship . This piece made me convinced that it is a perfect piece . I have read many authors who are gifted with free verse . This one equals, if not, rivals even the best out there . By no stretch of imagination that there are selected few who could write like this . And if english is not their primary language then I'm convinced that it transcends race, creed, academic, and geographical advantage . The nationality of the author is a mystery to me . But I have a hunch that english wasn't her primary language . Then and only then her poetry skills is a gift from beyond . I'm awe struck with this piece . What I could not achieve became possible here .

This is a stunning poem. Beautiful in form and in spirit. Very abstract and yes enchanting.

Thanks a lot, Joshua :)

Very sweet and enchanting poem! I love the symbol of butterfly and the way you draw it here is wonderful. It takes me to another place of dreams, of moments, which are not illusions in our heart. Beautifully written, it gives feeling of freedom, gentleness, transience and eternity, butterfly will fade, but the memory of her wings remains. My favorite lines:

She flutters before me

Whilst leaving a trail

Of crystals amid

A snowy landscape

Thanks :) I wanted to write a fantasy poem concerning itself around an enchanting world, but the words had me focus on the frailty of a butterfly, and so I attempted to capture the beauty of that instead.

[Michelle N. H.]
