This work has reached the exceptional level

It is a stunning presentation with words that match the butterfly being reflected in the dewdrop.
You captured the delicate beauty of the butterfly perfectly.
Best wishes,
Mary

Hi MariVal,
firstly, how beautiful is this presentation... no, it's not a question, it's a statement!:)

Straight a way, I'm thinking...
Beautiful butterfly
riding on a dewdrop
self-reflection.

But, unfortunately you are more in line with the actuality of the magic you create though perfect little breathing spaces. Me, I'm just 'head in the clouds':)

I do believe the words and the visual really meld into the wholeness of this most exceptional Haiku... and when you consider that the visual creates the dialogue in expression of fragility, the journey and the destination. Stunning!

Yes MariVal, this poem may be short in form, but the echoes linger way after the read((((((((((((.

Beautiful!

With our thoughts we create...
the metamorphosis to authenticity.

Warmest regards,
James.
******Star Exceptional!!!!!!

I like the "self-reflection" and it works for the butterfly being reflected in the dewdrop and it works for the poet and reader reflecting on how fragile life is in general.

Hi Gypsy, I love this poem. It is such a happy poem. Your poem reads and flows well and has good imagery. Of special note:

self-reflection
(Good Satori line)

This poem also reminded me of Brooke, adewdrop. May she rest in peace.

Beautiful photo and presentation. This poem made me smile.
Well done. Xo. M

Here is another prime example of more than meets the eye. It is an image that we can see. The butterfly liting on a tiny drop of dew. Then there is the inner message. Stopping to self reflect. We become the butterfly. Great job. Gretchen

Gypsy,

You combined the fantastic artwork and coloring scheme with your emotive verse in your ekphrastic club entry. The expressive language provides a vivid image to consider. While you used "balances' in the present tense, for me 'balanced' works even better.

I like the idea of a butterfly balancing on a dew drop. I'm wondering if they really can, but then I'm curious what a butterfly has to self-reflect about. Hmmm, maybe a lot more than we are capable of comprehending. I enjoyed reading and the complete presentation was beautiful.

Great job here on this very beautiful verse. Your presentation is always wonderful and over the top. I loved the satori being an 'aha' moment and standing out in meaning. As always, a wonderful job, Gypsy.
