Butterfly Words Poem by Kevin Patrick
Butterfly Words
A poem is a catch
Of butterfly words
That I chase with a pen
Within a paper mesh
The similes scamper
But I pinch their rims
My eyes are for rhyme
Though I never have time
I seek to make beauty
Collected in prose
In a language safari
For a substitute Hobby
My styles amateur
And not so complex
But I love a good Verse
With rare Haiku figures
A poem is catch
Of butterfly words
That flutters in the sky
Only seeing in my mind
Nicely penned. well crafted. loved the line A poem is catch Of butterfly words That flutters in the sky Only seeing in my mind.
A poem is catch Of butterfly words That flutters in the sky Only seeing in my mind Nice and beautiful.
BUTTERFLY WORDS is a fine metaphor for poetry, especially the kind that is exploratory, mercurial which like the butterfly alights on a flower briefly to sample its nectar, then it's off to another flower. This is the poetry which parallels our lives as we live them, catches time on the wing but doesn't strive for the closure. You state your goal in a happily tossed-off line I SEEK TO MAKE BEAUTY. And this poem illustrates one of the ways you do that in fleet, airy, spacious images. This poem is your ARS POETICA, that is, a poem in which the poet puts into words how or why s/he writes poetry. From this poem I infer your answer would be I CREATE IMAGES OF DELIGHT.
