The ButterFly Effect!

Paradigms shift in the
transfiguration of time

as mortal minds evolve
and perceptions change
with each new experience

We are intergalactic travelers
passing through invisible dimensions

as spiritual beings wrapped
in the cocoon of human flesh

awaiting the metamorphosis
of enlightenment in the
gravitational field of discovery

Author notes

Rules suck

The inspiration for this piece
is change and all the uncertainty
that life holds.

    Your opening two lines set the stage for this beauty and the miracles that unfold through each change.

    Adaptability in itself, is a miracle in my eyes and we are forever drawn to discovery.

    I love where you went with this prompt to create such a though provoking write. Nice work. Best of luck in the contest. ~Pamela

    This does

    make me think of the film with the same title, and the premises of the chaos theory. Nothing is static, and you have indicated this so well in your poem. Your use of wording depicts the dynamics of change in a 'well-flowing' uncomplicated write. Good luck to you. Frans

    very deep

    I think you have spent some time in thought over this poem. I like it a lot. It is unique. It presents ideas which people do not mention a lot in poetry and you do it in such a flowing manner with very apt vocabulary.

    I read it because I was so impressed with the poem you submitted in the LOVE contest and I am not dispoointed by the poetry you write.

    I am not sure about 'invisable' maybe American, but in English it is 'invisible.' But, I am in a different country [Australia] and the spelling may be different.

    I would also delete both words "AS".

    I am impressed by your abilty to write a whole poem without puctuation...that is challenging and difficult to do, but you have succeeded.

    Maybe I need a paradigm shift too, but I felt like your capitals letters at the beginning of each verse sometimes spoilt the movement of the meaning.

    Why am I being critical? Because it is such a lovely poem, so well written and I believe you need honest feedback, like us all, so you may develop as a poet by seeing what other people think..and also there is also a question under this box asking for ideas.

    Then you poetry may be even better... Now I am off to read some more of your poems.

      Hello Richard

      I would like to personally thank you
      for your indepth and analytical
      analysis of my work. I appreciate
      the thought that went into your most
      constructive comments. I applaud the
      tact and class which you used.
      I believe alot of the AP members could
      learn a great deal from you.
      Every suggestion or critic you made was
      intelligent and valid.
      Most people on this site who call them
      selves critiquing someones work are rude
      and obtuse. Instead of helping they only
      irritate and make you feel bad.
      Thank you so much for showing such class
      and maturity. Sincerely,darell
