Death Of A Good Butterfly - Poem by Charles Ho
The drizzle caught it by
surprise. That butterfly
Lay aslant and grounded.
Drenched in rain it floundered
With a limp wing. Then drop
By drip, by drop, by drip,
The tempest washed it out,
Mercy without.

Are there BAD butterflies?
A very interesting poem. I like it.
I was drawn to the title because I have a poem with a similar title. It's called 'Butterfly of Death' and I invite you to read it. Thanks. (Report) Reply
