Butterfly In Ice

A butterfly so small and quaint
Lands on a flower that you want to paint
It’s wings brightly colored like a sunset sky
And pictures come to you as it flutters on a sigh
The clouds begin to darken with anticipating rain
Water drops begin to fall and you can’t explain
Why this beautiful insect won’t seem to leave
For this cold is making it hard to breathe
I take your hand in mine and help you to your feet
Eyes still fixed on the butterfly in its elegant seat
We turn our heads and run away
Lost in your thoughts there’s not much to say
As the rain pours down and thunder crashes
I can’t help but notice you staring at the ashes
The orange flames dancing wildly around
Remind you of the butterfly as petals did surround
You walk to the window then pick up your brush
Staring at the canvass trying not to rush
The painting that you start displays all the colors
Of the butterfly that the clouds seemed to smother
The painting is now finished
For the clouds have diminished
The butterfly has paid the price
As the rain freezes surrounding it in ice

| the best thing of this poem is the originality of it. you obviously have a creative mind, and it shows. i would say that maybe the biggest problem in this is that sometimes you were borderline in forcing your rhymes. you had a very good ending also. that is what i always look for, and yours didnt dissapoint. |

scrawls that rhyme generally irritate me, so i'm always obliged to give credit when someone makes it work. even working within the rhyme scheme, this was quite good. you've painted something visible and alluring. ***** skittles.
