In meadows wide, a butterfly glides,
Its wings are a canvas, colors collide.
From cocoon's grasp, butterflies dreams to roam
And paint the world with hues unknown.
With a gentle breeze and the sun's warm caress,
It flutters forth with graceful finesse.
Through fields of flowers the butterfly finds its way,
To sip sweet nectar, to greet the day.
Though fragile and small, butterflies. hold the key
To transformation, wild and free.
A story whispered in nature's scheme…
That from a chrysalis, dreams gleam.
So let us learn from the butterfly's grace;
The power of change in every embrace.
Description:
The poem "The Butterfly's Flight" teaches us that even the smallest beings hold the power of transformation within them. Just as the butterfly emerges from its cocoon to show the world its beauty, we too can undergo personal growth and embrace our true potential.
[Writing Editor's Note]
This is a lovely short and sweet poem. There is nothing groundbreaking that it does, but it uses rhymes well and sends a clear yet hopeful message to the audience. A good read for younger students that is a great example of the ABAB rhyme scheme. Maybe it could have another verse, but I don't think there's much more to be said.
