Little Butterfly

Little Butterfly

Little butterfly,

Be not green eyed.

For then perception is deception.

Ye shy heart doth

flutter ever so sweetly,

So love thy moth.

 

 

 

Author's Note

Just a simple, little poem.

I often think that shorter poems sometimes have more of an impact than longer ones. This one is wonderful Alice. There is the jealousy theme where you implore him not to be like that, but I also think you are telling him that he outshines you and therefore have no reason to feel like that. Because he outshines, you only have eyes for him. At least that's my simple interpretation. This one has a delicate and sweet tone to it that is really good.

Beautiful. I love short poems like this. And the message is great. :)

Nice little compact poem of beautyful image and thought. I think it was sweet. I especially liked the second half of it, "Ye shy heart doth flutter ever so sweetly, So love thy moth."
The beauty for me is that the moth does not quite know how the butterfly thinks, and may be in for a beautiful surprise.
Nice!
