Hint of a Smile dots

-------------------------------------------

I have matured much since our last exchange,
I have grown
I have learned.
I have found love.

The last gave me the courage to crawl out
Of the confines my cocoon.

At first, I was still frightened
The fear clung to my soul,
The way the damp wings clung to my back.
But for once, it was the sun
Who was my savior.
I basked in his warmth
Sunning my wings
Soon I spread them
And flew away
With the hint of a smile on my lips,
Because I had done it on my own.

  So gracious was this written. In contrast to life, is the struggle of the Butterfly. Who leads the way and waits for that sunshine then takes flight with a smile for what they have over come. A beautiful struggle of true beauty. That becomes as a blossom just at the right time.

  very nice. i loved the part about the damp wings, and then the sun shines on you, dries them and sends you on your way! write on!

  I rather liked this... the concept of the garden, and the independence that you stopped reaching out for someone else to save you and allowed nature to take its own course (ie, the sun drying your damp wings) to give you the freedom to fly. It had good imagery. As for the "I" concept and writing in first person... well, let's look at Sylvia Plath as well as almost every published phenomenal poet in history, who writes with overwhelming ego and parallels poetry into personal experience and say, It Works. It brings the piece home to me. If you were writing about a little garden fairy, it would be cheesey... but you're not. This is YOUR experience, and you OWN that independence, and it was a hard struggle to achieve it, as brushed briefly in your illustration of words. It worked for me. I thought it was charming and I enjoyed it.

  The first four lines were very promising. You could elaborate more about growing and learning. Show me, don't just tell. Tie in the metaphors with reality. The last stanza seemed too fairy tale. I didn't get a sense of what the first four lines offered: maturing, growing, and finding love. Show me all of that.
