Flight of the Blue Butterfly
As society news spins warped wobbly wheels
emotions tech connected plummet
to splay across low-growing vegetation
drying out on our acidic soils
spoiled by gurgling blood of our brothers
pathetically spilled
each day swirling into midnight blue
spines weakened to knees finally bent
in earnest prayer for violence to relent its flourish
although many still refuse
for false stars sparkle
eyes of fragile vassals
foolishly relishing a glow
fleeting their soar
into a black hole to perish
since obedience's a bore
love
genuine care
a majority vulnerable
afraid to trust
in darkness to share
when a baby carriage left unattended
causes terror
even attended blasting buildings
scaring kings who parade before paupers
total hearts rapid beating to bust;
yet, blue stays the hue of sky
among blooming blue marsh gentians
butterflies feel secure
land after flying into the dainty flowers of bog heather
assured their babies to rise
when caterpillar-turned-butterfly dashes
a twig does climb
to save limbs, not die
stretching glorious wings
to dry after a year's fight to survive
butterfly blue flaps wings first time
to flutter high above the heath!
to brighten our hopeful eyes
as within days they mate
to again cycle eternal birth
spun again their search
for more tall blue marsh gentian
imitating progeny joyful too
since parents chose
this loving Creator
beautifully extending
a future imbued with prolific peace
sweet security ensured
under righteous tranquilly:
'new heavens' our 'heath'
on a cleansed
bounteous
magnificent
'new earth'.
"Hope in Jehovah and follow his way,
And he will exalt you to take possession of the earth.
When the wicked are done away with,
you will see it."

The Feelings Wheel
Dr. Gloria Willcox once developed a ''feelings wheel'' as a tool to better describe one's emotions. You'll see a picture below. If you look at it for a moment you'll see that the emotions are divided into color groups; red, purple, blue, orange, yellow and green. The two emotions in every color group are opposites, for example in the red category you'll find the feelings ''anger'' and ''peaceful''.
For this contest I want you to write a poem based on one of the color groups. Please try to use both and only the two emotions in that category, and try to use words from the outer circle as well.
I apologize if this is complicated, please do not hesitate to ask question Happy writing
