It's Still Life

June 6. Write a poem inspired by the vibrant colours and patterns of a butterfly’s wings. 

Klimt’s Palette

It dances over the fence,
gone like a dream.
A whispery prayer.
Wings of electric blue sky.

Butterfly, petal soft in the sun.
Wings of cloisonne,
pieced and puzzled stardust.
A splash of Gustav Klimt’s palette.

It shines phosphorescent yellow,
bright as medieval sunlight
through a rose window.
Kintsugi mended wings.

Fly butterfly, shining thin wings
of crushed orange clouds.
