I think these butterflies are truly Heaven sent, they are a joy and magical to watch and glimpsing them in the park adds a touch of colour, I enjoyed your fine words, love Dolly x x x

I always felt butterflies are spirits coming from heaven. It probably isn't true, but it is a nice thought. Your poem felt most relatable, and I love butterflies, so your poem was first on the list.

    Thank you I believe they are spirits from heaven or we could say messengers letting us know loved ones are okay. It?s a beautiful thought.

This is beautiful! On quiet days you can sit and watch them flutter about for hours. Strange to think they are so blissfully unaware of their own beauty. Good luck in the contest!

Excellent entry for The World's Shortest Haiku writing promptContest.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest.

I have never understood why butterflies are believed to be sent from heaven, but I must admit your poem is lovely. You met all of the requirements, and the picture you added was nice. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

I would give a six to this if I had one, so please accept my virtual one and also your first vote. My mother loved butterflies and so collected everything with butterflies on it. We even released butterflies into the skies at her funeral, when she died very young. The next week after, my friends talked me into golfing nine holes with them. A butterfly showed up at the very first hole, and followed me, plus danced around my head the whole 9 holes. It had to have taken us two hours but that butterfly never left me. Never went near the others, but just me. So we came to the conclusion that was God's way of saying she never really left me.

So this was a very lovely read to me, and I thank you so very much for this and I hope you win, my dear friend.

This is so stunning poet! It looks to me like you've put the satori first which is very common in shorter haiku. I hope I'm not mistaken but trust me. You did it right.

It would be helpful for readers if you put a little dash - or a ~ after the word butterflies, indicating a pause...

butterflies~

angelic spirits
heaven sent

make spirits plural since you have butterflies plural.

This is amazing. I don't know if you are going to take my suggestion but it doesn't matter. This is a stellar poem and best wishes in the contest!

I like this one, haiku can be as little as two lines, so this is no great surprise, as long as the 'aha's in place, beautifully written dear friend, but great post, good luck, blessings Roy
