Hello again Pamusart
your 5-7-5 poem about butterflies that I will miss, their wings of beauty that came in the spring to feast upon the nectar of all the flowers that I had in my summer garden, have left

    Thank you Linda for your lovely review. Butterfly populations are down by 90%
    In just twenty years

    OMG Pam...I didn't know they were that far down...I just know as a kid they were everywhere...now it's a gift if you ever see one...my daughter has some kind of a plant on her patio...it draws them in...and they cocoon on the screen (cage) around her pool...the tree is next to the screen...her and my grand kids watch them hatch...it is amazing to watch...that is so sad they are that far down...pollution in the air kills people...butterflies don't stand a chance...sigh...your so welcome...xxoo love

Thanks for pointing out that not ALL 5-7-5 poems are Haiku.... But traditional Haiku are, in fact, originally, 5-7-5 poems (with new aberrations of course, of course!) Very nice imagery here!

    Lol. Hi Gloria. Your comment about eating a butterfly reminds me of the first poem I ever posted here

    ?careless ugly moth
    the light attracts your dark eyes
    cat?s pink tongue tastes you?

    Thank you for the fun and lovely review

This is a very well written poem you have penned for the 3 Line Poetry contest. You used very good descriptive words and very lovely art work with the pictures of the beautiful butterflies. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Teri

What a beautifully written haiku/5-7-5 poem. I love the creative line, "endless fresh buffet." This is an excellent poem for the 3 line poetry contest. I hope your butterflies glide into a win. :)

An excellent entry in this three line, yes indeed it is a haiku, with all the requirements, excepting one doesn't need exactly seventeen syllable for them. Great job Pam, good luck, blessings, Roy

    Hi Jan. Thank you for your lovely review. I made the endless fresh buffet owned by Spring?s middle days. Do you see? I liked that better than a fragment on the last line. I always like suggestions so keep it up please! Take care
