The Golden Butterfly
Hidden amongst leaves
is a thistle growing wild
forgotten by all
save a golden butterfly
lost in the dance of summer.
The above is posted in creative response to Write Anything's Form and Genre Challenge #7. The tanka is new for me but, having lived in Japan, the haiku form of 5-7-5 which is a part of it is not. Dusted off a little something old, added a little something new. Tinkered again. Posted for you. Maybe you like. I have a sweet affinity for the golden butterfly dancing around that thistle....

I love the imagery in this. It's simply beautiful.
Gorgeous. Really gorgeous.
Beautifully crafted! The image of the lone thistle, suddenly made beautiful and unforgettable by a single butterfly. Love it!
True talents, hidden or not, will always be found.
