Notes About The Poem

Kitten and Butterflies

Kitty in Butterfly Garden

They say I’m curious, but what of these?
These strange miniature beautiful things!
They flutter like aqua leaves in the breeze.
How fragile they seem with soft powder wings.

These strange miniature beautiful things!
They fell like petals that snatched blue from sky.
How fragile they seem with soft powder wings.
Not giving them chase, among them I lie.

They fell like petals that snatched blue from sky
down to the ground where they now surround me.
Not giving them chase, among them I lie
in this garden of them, grown magically.

Down to the ground where they now surround me,
they flutter like aqua leaves in the breeze
in this garden of them, grown magically.
They say I’m curious, but what of these?

Daver Austin March 17, 2016 at 2:33 PM Aint cats strange. They will attack a squirrel that can fight back, but go to sleep by a butterfly. Oh, this is so sensitive and tender. Love it, love it. Love you, daver

Timothy Hicks March 16, 2016 at 10:22 PM Excellent, Andrea ... just excellent. You make this form feel super natural ... love how you brought out the curiosity of the cat AND the butterflies. Aqua leaves? Never heard that one before ... very pretty. Mine was humorous, but I broke a lot of rules, and didn't incorporate a steady rhyme (or even consistent line lengths) ....

Matthew Anish March 16, 2016 at 8:26 PM What a nice poem! I have written pantoums myself. I believe the form is from Malaysia. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Tim Smith March 16, 2016 at 7:28 PM I can so picture this Andrea. My youngest has a cat and it is so adorable.

Sandra Haight March 16, 2016 at 6:39 PM Cute personification, Andrea. I like the 'aqua leaves in the breeze' imagery! All the best for the contest. Hugs, Sandra

Anne-Lise Andresen March 16, 2016 at 2:15 PM - I can see it is curious and playful ... lovely Andrea! - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
