Would You Recognise It Poem by Stephanie van Oudtshoorn
Would You Recognise It
What if a butterfly
became a catepillar
- would you recognise it?
it being beautiful no more
The colours faded and dull
Its delicacy now disappearing
Could it be a warning sign
that all is changed
Life is not as it is expected to be
rather order gives way to anarchy
Rivers flowing to the mountains
Butterflies transformed into worms
would you recognise them?
Thirteen poems and a good start Even though free verse is anathema to me I bow to your talent. HOWEVER you better stop writing about yourself and your feelings or you're gonna run out of new things to say. Depersonalise and Good luck
A lovely poetic idea, Stephanie - though 'caterpillar' for 'worm' would make the reverse transformation clearer! Would it be 'anarchy'? i think not -except to our preconceptions. Actually a return to source - there's a thought! Jah, veel lekker.
