Butterflies Poem by Indira Renganathan

Butterflies

Rating: 5.0


The withered sparkle-chips on earth spawn
Caterpillars ere butterflies shrunk in cocoon and cocoon
Swarm with myriad colours out when born
Success of ascension, patterned designs strewn

Egg to larva to pupate on
A cycle of struggle to emerge soon
Butterfly does flirt flower to flower upon
A triumphant mirth of silky, honeyed boon

O'human, ask within why you're gone
Lust and creed to you did who spoon
Out yourself from yourself when drawn
Bad and sad'll never be a boon

Waltz around butterflies iridescently on
Waft up hordes of success soon
Difficulties pupate to endure on
Butterfly be from birth though struggle-sown

Excellent write on butterflies that transform from ugly inspects to the most colourful ones, in one of the wonders of nature's metamorphosis - with the underlying message to the human to learn from them.

A butterfly only a creature of the 'moment', has enough time to dance and sing and lay its eggs on the leaves of Spring, for the cycle of life to begin! 10+ -Raj Nandy
