Butterfly On A Wheel

My thirty-sixth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena

By Mike Singleton ๐Ÿ’œ Mikeydred Published 4 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

This is my thirty-sixth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.

It is a butterfly cinquain, and is only dark in concept, observing how beauty is destroyed often for the fleeting convenience of perpetrators. We see so many situations where a talent or a figure is effectively killed to preserve it at a moment in time as nothing more than an ornament, often forgotten by the ones who put it there.

The music I have chosen is "Butterfly on a Wheel" by The Mission from the album "Carved In Sand".
