Can you touch a "Butterfly's lips"
with words so gently spoken?
or do you need to whisper on the
breeze, to catch her... attention.
In a list
Please tell me what you think

Simple, yet elegant.
I like this. It's simple, subtle, and elegant. Something that makes you stop and think for just a moment. Beautiful, keep it up. :]

Nice
I like the softness of this poem. You captured the wistfulness of a butterfly by using words like "lips, gently, whisper, and breeze" instead of more course sounding words like "mouth,quietly, say, and wind." Good job!
My favorite thing about this poem is the use of the ellipses at the end. When I got to "catch her," the poem had ended for me and I thought it was very nice. Then I immediately get this little bonus word, "attention." I thought that was masterful. It was like the poem had two different endings. Both had seperate, yet unified meanings. The use of the ellipses also mirrors the action of "catching." We wait for that perfect opportunity to reach her, to catch her.
A couple of suggestions. First, this poem requires the possessive form of butterfly--"Butterfly's lips" (apostrophe, then "s", not "ies"). Also, you are asking a question, here, so a question mark at the end would normally signify that. You could leave the question mark off if you needed to. By the time you get to the end, you have almost forgotten that this poem is a question. That is actually another nice little surprise at the end, but unless you did in purposefully, I would change it to the question mrark. -

Nice, concise, and vividly written. The picture is beautiful, but you've used few words to create an excellent word picture. Written in the form of a question, your poem becomes inviting! -

I often get the urge to write what some would call "trivia"...it normally happens when I cannot find a subject matter. Nature often comes to the rescue Thank you once again for your kindness (which will be returned )

superb
I never thought of a butterfly as haveing lips but if they do you truly did it right -
-
What a nice thing to sayIn my book, butterflies must have lips as they kiss a babies eyes when it's born ..(Maybe an old bit of Irish folk lore, but I believe it
-
-
WOW This is pretty deep and beautiful. I love the question asked in the piece. It really makes the reader wonder what the correct answer is.

Again Ms Cutie you are all questions about spring. Lady said you should run naked around the garden twice at the start of spring. It's helps you live, she said. --- Thank you.

Lol...naked! I don't think so ; You tell that Lady from me that I think she should wash her mouth out with soap just jesting ...big hug for lady
