A while ago while playing golf, I found myself in a kaleidoscope of small, white butterflies. There were thousands of them. It was like being in a fairytale. I love butterflies :) This is very well written.

As a matter of fact, I think I would prefer a Kaleidoscope of Butterflies to a Pride of Lions. You know, if given a choice. smile
Great job on this one Brooke,

I've seen that once, not Heaven on Earth, though I had some good times, but a kaleidoscope, while in Florida. It truly is a sight to behold. Not a bad wish. Well done.

I really needed this upbeat poem about Heaven and the kaleidoscope of butterflies tonight! This beautiful imagery created through the words of the poem and the repetition of the line "Kaleidoscope of butterflies" really helps visualize the rainbow of colors that a kaleidoscope of butterflies creates. I think it is fitting to tie butterflies with Heaven because it has been said that if you whisper a wish to a butterfly it will carry it up to Heaven on its wings. I love to think that butterflies are little messengers from above. The repetition of the line "Kaleidoscope of butterflies" really draws the reader's attention and creates an excellent impact. This poem flows beautifully as a result of the abcb rhythmic pattern that remains consistent throughout this entire piece. The photo accompanying this poem is perfectly chosen to define the words of the writer and further enhance the writer's vision. The final line of this poem unifies this poem perfectly and leaves this poem to resonate strongly with the reader long after it has been read.

    It was a beautifully designed piece of literature truly worthy of nothing less than six stars! You always amaze me with the multitude of subjects that you write about, yet you always intricately design your poems to fit the subject matter making the topic come alive through your well chosen word choices. Have a lovely day and you are welcome for the review! :-)

A poem that leaves one to wonder. Like the image of a kaleidoscopes of butterflies from heaven. Simple, yet it grabbed me with a beauty I can visualize. A wonderful request. Les

Most appropriately indeed. I liked your use of refrain lines in this work, and that you kept it short, sweet, and to the point. A beautifully worded poem, that created a wonderful image.

Blessings,

~ J.

This is just beautiful. I love the musical rhythm of the alternating lines (8/6/8/6) and the melodic lilt of the vocabulary as well. "Kaleidoscopes of butterflies" is just fun to say and melodic in its own right. What a lovely choice of subject matter and all so beautifully described. I enjoyed this immensely.
