This is a solid entry for a challenging contest. I like your choice of subject matter and the graphic is so perfect it adds a dimension to the words. The meaning of the words is sweet, but even more I liked the distribution of words per line. You put the seven words to a rhythm of sorts.

I enjoyed your poem. The photo with the butterfly was a nice touch. I liked how you described the sun light. Good job. Well done. Thank you for sharing. One question if you could help me with, how do you get the words to show up on the photo. I find that quite interesting.

This poem fits the criteria for having seven words. It is a vivid image with strong diction. The line break works well, separating season from butterfly, making a nice contrast. Best wishes in your contest!

A great use of these seven words, somehow these living metaphors stir the soul, and give hope to the heart. The burrefly is the substance of great poetry, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Happy beginning of February! I liked your poem. The butterfly was an excellent greeting to this month and to spring. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

I loved the lilac border you chose.. I always think of February in shades of light purple... the hue that reminds me of blooming crocus. Your verse is perfect for this prompt. Good luck.

Nice picture of a Buckeye Butterfly, a true beauty. Unfortunately the butterfly isn't flitting, it's sitting on a windowsill, waiting for deliverance by
better weather or an open window. On FanStory, writers love these word count and syllable poems. To me, these designs more often cripple than encourage. It's very hard to build the Taj Mahal out of a shoe box.
The conjunction of two images in this poem, the pale day and the butterfly, are full of potentials that remain unreleased by seven words.

This is an excellent poem for the contest
with the maximum seven word.
Where I live, there are no butterflies in February,
but other areas are much warmer.
Nicely done.
Best wishes.
Robert
