Brittle Wings

Brittle Wings
(A Whitney Poem with 5-7-5)




Brittle wings
Past battles won
Beauty sings
Grace in the sun
To survive
Bad blows are done
Still gloriously alive

Brittle wings in sky
Battered Buckeye Butterfly
I Watched you fly by






I had a picture of this Buckeye butterfly with battered wings. It got me to write this Poem. I was inspired by a poem that I reviewed this morning written by cheyennewy called Frayed Edges. It reminded me that I had this picture.

There are two poem styles here, a Whitney followed by a 5-7-5 Poem.
A Whitney has a fixed syllable count of 3/4/3/4/3/4/7 in 7 lines. The other format is obvious.

This picture by taken by the author in June 2012 in a little park in Cottage Grove, Minnesota.
