I wrote this poem off a gorgeous photo prompt by @quoll, for @damianjayclay and @nikisteem’s Kudos Short Poem Contest. I had a poem that would have fitted within the fifty word limit perfectly but I do have a thing for butterflies. When I saw that picture, how could I resist?

I admire your ability to write poem. I am inspired to learn. Beautiful poem on the butterfly. 😊
Thank you so much.
Practise makes perfect. You could do it too.
This is a beautifully written short poem. It actually says so much with minimal wordage, and says it so well. Kudos indeed.
Thank you, Naquoya.
This was beautiful. I love how you portrayed the butterfly as a piece of art, but yet it retains its natural value and it's not artificial through brush. It elevates that feeling of natural beauty. I enjoy this.
The last stanza is vague - which I like. The journey will end too soon - is that going to be a bad thing? Who knows? I like the way that the ending leads to different possibilities in our heads.
Thanks!
These days I'm almost writing more poetry than fiction, it seems.
a work of art untouched by brush or pencilis such a good line. I really like this one, Tiny.Thank you, Andrew. As always, your opinion means a lot to me.
Thank you so much for joining our contest! Good luck and keep on Steemin!
Thanks!

I think my favorite line has to be "Six legs cross/Cool grey stone"
The language is so precise, and it just has such a nice tone to it. Thanks for sharing! <3
