Description: This is'nt really a poem as such. I mostly just wanted everyone to be able to see the other side of the blue morpho that I wrote about before. I thought it might make that poem make a bit more sense.
the other side of the butterfly -------------------------------------------
For the Blue Morpho
one side is iridescent blue
the other is brown
—almost like a moth
Some might say that the brown side
Is deceptive
or maybe just drab
the fact that the morpho
cannot see it's shining brilliance
suggests not deceit
perhaps-- ignorance
Or maybe he's just fine
with the side he keeps to himself
and offended by others being so
captivated by him
only when he turns to leave.
not really a poem? this is absolutely brilliant. i'm completely in love with it actually. my favorite is the last stanza. maybe i can just relate to it a lot, but i'm a strange bird.
Despite your explanation I still think I was spot on with my previous comment. It's freaky things like the Morpho that creationists press forward to advance their agenda. I'm not sure what exactly their agenda is, but it's obviously important to them, like poetry is important to the poet, and is as much an agenda of sorts.
