Why would a butterfly
ever want to don his former attire?
Got purified gold?
Now you want to reapply the dross?
Shipwrecked at sea
but, rescued...now wanting to re-enact?
Away with these preposterous ponderings.
I want the best-I shoot the rest.

Whoa, this was different and I loved it! You took the qoute in a whole new direction while managing to keep the message portrayed in your poem.
Beautiful job
I loved the lines about the butterfly. It displays a strong sense of moving forward && getting on with life.
Best of luck! Thanks for entering<3

a good piece, the way is forward, we can if we wish to ponder the things of before, but we always have to move in the forward direction.

This is a very interesting take on the quote. I definitely wasn't expecting this, but then again, that isn't a bad thing. I didn't exactly see the whole quote being portrayed in this, though. Mainly I saw the last two lines. The poem is very well, and you did amazing at sending your point across, but that's the only problem I saw with it. All in all, a great piece of poetry. Good luck ! ♥
