Broken Butterflies

In the gentle shadows of the mighty woods they cry out their soft lamentations to the ever listening but never hearing footsteps in the hills. No one speaks but all know the tales of cruel and unkindly folk. As they sing the songs of the bleeding wings of broken butterflies.

This makes a strong statement about abuse and can be read from so many different levels. I read it as the abuse towards the environment and the abuse on people on people as well. Since there is a bond between people and the environment-- I looked deeper into the poem and saw this: okay,we as people are our habits. If our habits are abuse that will be our character either individually or as a society. Like if we abuse eacher that reflects in abuse of the environment-- or if we abuse the environment that reflects in abuse of eachother. Vice versa-- if we treat eachother better we treat the environment better or if we treat the environment better that reflects on how we treat people. Brilliant little poem. I like it.

Broken butterflies
Never dance in sunny skies
But on cloudy dawns
They sing their broken songs...

...sing sweet butterfly, sweetly sing.

This is mysterious. I could feel strong emotion in the last stanza. A wonderfully written poem!

Very strong piece in aspects (more than one). I like the way it's broken down into sentences for example. Very poignant.

Short yet so expressive, not a word wasted

Very beautiful! I can see the broken butterflies as the women who are being misunderstood by others. People are realy judgmental, so critical. Sometimes, while we are trying to move on from our past "storms" in life, they tend to pull us down so that we can't move from where we are...to be broken forever.

Nice release of emotion through your properly chosen words. I like this.
