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.

okay you used butterfly in the title....but so what...this is really different..the two sides, drab and brilliant...but the drab side might just be hiding brilliance....sometimes we really misjudge by what is on the outside.. there could be brilliance on the inside...something really worth getting that net and chasing into the sunset. jacob

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.

Nice job here. I like the way you take a clichéd subject and address it anew. Only mistake I saw was misspelling 'deceit' in line 10. Peace, love and all that other junk, Joe

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. Sieg Heil.
