A Butterfly With Broken Wings

A Sad Sonnet

This Broken Butterfly

It's Freedom Now Removed

To The Earth It Is Tied

It Knows That It Is Doomed

☠️🦋☠️

Fate Has Taken Its Course

Confined Now To The Ground

Butterfly In The Wars

There's No Hope Can Be Found

☠️🦋☠️

Broken Wings Cannot Fly

Exiled From The Great Sky

Now Is The Time to Die

Forgotten By And By

☠️🦋☠️

Butterfly, Broken Wings

Silence, No Dirge To Sing

☠️🦋☠️🦋☠️🦋☠️🦋☠️

    Ah, that is beautiful and sad. Makes one think of little things in the course of nature and a poets mind for compassion. I'm glad I'm not a butterfly. ❤️

    There is something about the metamorphasis, ephemeralness, fragility and strength of butterflies. They will always capitvate us and be the inspiration and subject of a poem such as yours.
