The Butterfly Line of Hope

Missing image

 The Butterfly Line of Hope

 

Written on our hands and palms
Are tiny vines we call lifelines.
Recorded there like scripture psalms;
With open minds we read the signs.

There’s a butterfly that we call Hope
She intertwines with our lifelines.
Those vines of love we envelope;
With open minds we read the signs.

She’s always there if we just look,
As she combines with our lifelines.
She’s made our lives an open book;
With open minds we read the signs.

Written on our hands and palms;
With open minds we read the signs.

      I’m sorry a Kyrielle Sonnet with internal rhyme couldn’t make your finalist list. I read your selections and realize that poetry is subjective and you prefer unmetered verse. Thank you for reading my poem and the wonderful prompt for inspiration.

    A very poignant and proven message. The need to see and embrace hope, or catch it in our hearts as our hands is so important. Beautifully done.

    A Kyrielle sonnet with so much more, delightfully philosophical with internal rhymes on alternate lines. Great stuff, another Amera original, and more great poetry.
