A nice description of the life cycle of the butterfly from a caterpillar emerging from the chrysalis. You picked the right syllables for the 5-3-5. You formatted to show the gradually emerging so that it looks like a block. But the lune form is supposed to look like a crescent moon so it's usually not centered but formatted to the left margin:
a caterpillar
emerges
~beautiful flier~
Best wishes in the contest!

someone else told me that, so i googled it and didn't find anywhere that it couldn't be centered
-
That's totally fine. You did like your formatting of "emerges" to visually show the transition.
Comment from Ashley Shipley
I really like the simple yet beautiful image conjured by this poem. I think that this is aided by the physical for of the poem particularly the elongation of the middle line, suggesting a change in state, and the curled dashes that resemble a caterpillar. Really well done!

It's hard to create an image in just thirteen syllables, but you've managed to accomplish it. I wish you had included a picture for a more fulfilling presentation, but your poem alone expresses the beauty of a butterfly.

Comment from Mark D. R.
I like the theme of your Lune poem entry. With little imagination, one can see your meaning. To set off your last line image, I would recommend you add a dash or squiggle after your second line.
Best wishes in the voting.

Like your wings!
Another poem I reviewed for the same contest replied:
Lune poems are always supposed to be left-centered to give the allusion of a crescent shaped moon... Truly!
So many little rules!
-
i just googled it, and i couldn't find anywhere that is must be left-aligned....
-
It makes sense, but I trusted the person who sent me the note I shared with you.
-
that's why i googled it.... so i knew for sure :)

Once again, I recognize the style. Good a statement, soft a sentiment, colourful the imagery, and serene the delivery.
Good luck with this.
Best wishes.

This writing prompt entry caused me to smile with the words you uses. 'beautiful flier' was a great play on words. Thank you for sharing. The syllable count is perfect.

With mild trepidation, we joined FanStory. Timidly we submitted our work. We suffered each criticism, listened and tried to learn from each reasonable suggestion, rejected the unkind suggestions to just kill ourselves. As our efforts improved, we began the transformative process of growth. One year, two years, steady improvement. Our first All Time Best Award. We were over the moon with the pride of accomplishment. Much higher ranking, respect from other writers, a string of awards. We take a look at ourselves and discover that the timid caterpillar that we once were is now a full fledged butterfly.

Comment from Thatguypk
I'm not convinced that Lunes are really poetry at all. They are really only an observation, concisely expressed, and that is the only way I can judge or comment on them. Yours works for me because in so few words you have captured what a butterfly is. Therefore it is a successful Lune.
