They definitely are exquisite. I swear, though, that I don't see nearly as many anymore as I used to as a child - and it's not because I'm not noticing.

Anyway, nice ethereal touch with the blonde in the lemon meringue-like dress. Human butterfly!

Beauty can resemble the softness of a butterfly. I usually think of a butterfly as the essence of beauty. Thank you for sharing this wonderful presentation with us.

This was such a cool poem. At first I thought it was about the woman in the picture, but then I saw the butterfly that was i the same color palette as the lady in the dress. The imagery of the picture captured the meaning in the poem perfectly. Gretchen

Beauty that is physical is indeed fleeting and delicate Like the wings of the butterfly, it must be admired as long as it nay last, so nany things in life are like that, beautiful, tender and short lived.

Love the way her silky dress resembles the wings of a butterfly and your verse merges the two together seamlessly. Beautiful presentation. Well done, Gypsy. Debbie

This is a beautiful piece, Gypsy, as is all your work. The artwork makes me think of Fairy's for some reason. Thank you for the educational author notes, my friend.
God bless,
Steve

Hi, Gypsy

When you talk about fleeting beauty, I think you mean the butterfly

I love butterflies. I don't see too many now because I'm homebound and I never go outside hardly. But I remember when I did, it was magical.

below, I think AWAY should go on the same line with butterfly. Otherwise, it gets confusing on checking the syllable count, and it really makes no difference to the flow or syllable count

" and tenderness

take my breath away--

butterfly"

That would have made it easier for me to read

I enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

    No, butterfly is alone in the last line, it's the satori.

    Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.

    Then the next to last line has 9 syllables which is more than the seven allowed for that line

Ah, those beautiful butterflies do have such fleeting beauty - so many live just a few days - except the Monarchs who live longer if they're in the generation that migrates. Lovely poem!

    Thank you very much, big sister. Yes, but butterflies are probably content to live a few days.... that's all they know.

    Love
