Nature Class Two butterflies collide
an astonishing sight
melodic in flight
imagine to consider
watching wings on wings as one
airborne briefly
quickly seen then gone
Toward freedom
as two lovers
plunge within lust
moments of haste
the beauty of these two
quickly turns against the wind
what was imagined as
love transcends toward hate
The beauty of these butterflies is always good
and instant lovers will never be understood

Wow Deni, I really enjoyed this poem, your style is one of my favorites as you well know...good work of letting your breaks do the work of punctuation...bravo. Two small suggestions, just my thoughts--in the sentence "what was imagined as" I'd remove the word as-you want your line to break with a word of impact "imagined" which does that quite well and the other thing would be in the line "and instant lovers will never be understood" I would drop the word "and" and replace it with the word "as"--gives your thought a smoother flow...remember these are just my HO and as always they are yours to use or loose...lovely write. Best always, Lora

This write compares so easily so human relationships I wonder if that was your intent. Either way it was beautiful and sad. But if we must love may it be as intense,if brief, while in flight. Bravo

I've read this over and over.. I love it! I think every moment from the meet to the separation is described beautifully. "imagined in love" indeed! Couldn't agree more.
Keep 'em coming! :)

What a wonderful wonderful piece of work. Deni you have really written a piece that hits the spot here with me.
I would not alter a thing. I read it several time just to enjoy it again and again.
Kevin.

Very nicely written and an exquisitely expressed allegory (I think that is the right word) concerning a brief, though meaningful, loving encounter. It is interesting how quickly lust, which we initially perceive as love, morphs (the "plunge" against gravity and the wind) into hate, or perhaps rejection, abandonment, or discardment(?). You are right, we feel it but we never emotionally understand it. Sorry, if I took interpretive liberties but that is what is so nice about this site. Thank you for the post and the great read.
Always, my most best,
Mark
