Why must a caterpillar ruin a rosebud so pleasant to the eye?

It suddenly dawns on me

it must be the green eye

that can't bear a flower more beautiful than a butterfly.

Made me smile.

Thanks, Tailor, for the smile.

Any advice for me on this scribbling?

rosebuds are wings,
pink and unflapped,
resting among leaves
like still silk cocoons,
to wide innocent eyes
wondering how to fly.

Way to go, Miyaka!

Good improptu!

It's great to find a co-traveller who likes to write short pieces!

An enjoyable poem, and an amusing image of jealousy even between an insect and a flower.

Perhaps I should point out this to you before anyone else does - you have posted 5 new poems here within the last 24 hours which is not encouraged by the forum rules :


Please consider the fact that sometimes this can be a *very* busy section of the forums.
Everybody wants their poems read.
To be fair to others, if you are going to post more than one of your poems on the same day post them in the same thread.
Do not start a *new* thread for every single poem. It is not fair to others who also want their poems read.
This allows others who are also sharing their poetry to be seen and read as well, instead of getting bumped off the first page of threads because someone has posted numerous single poem/threads which, in excess, is called flooding and against the forum rules.

There are other writers who have posted only 1 poem within the last 24 hours whose poetry has already disappeared off this page without being given the chance to be read.

Best wishes, H
