Thoughts


Thoughts are like butterflies in the sun.

Blinded by the light,
noticed by their color,
admired for their flight,
avoided for their flutter.

  3. This poem inspired me, and I scribbled down some metaphors that jived for me:

    ThoughtsThoughts can be like clouds
    Amorphous shades of blue
    On a lazy summer's day.

    Thoughts can be like whispers
    Almost catch their meaning
    Before they've moved away.

    ... Nice work overall, I enjoyed the poems I've read

  4. Hey, Danielle,

    Thanks for sharing. I think metaphors are fun and thought provoking, and I especially liked the imagery provoked in your lines "Amorphous shades of blue On a lazy summer's day" The sense of free flying thoughts almost brushing past someone.

    I'm glad you liked my work, and thanks again for sharing.
