Days when
nothing goes right
despite our intentions
life spirals into lunacy…
Just Breathe
to find a clearer perspective
practicing mindfulness
in that moment
find bliss.

Since I didn’t get the chance to participate in Jane Dougherty’s Butterfly Cinquain Challenge I am combining it with this final challenge of 2015: To use a saying as my prompt for a poem. My saying forms the “body” of my little butterfly giving balance to its two opposing wings. I love the look of this poetry form! Happy New Year everyone! If you’d like to read other takes on Jane’s latest challenge, click HERE!
(A butterfly cinquain is a nine-line syllabic verse of the following pattern: 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 2 / 8 / 6 / 4 / 2.)

I do like the way you make the poem hinge on the saying, like the body of the butterfly. Very neat and clever 🙂
