Butterfly Effect Poem by Harun Al Nasif
Butterfly Effect
Butterfly Effect
My very birth sent forth a tremor
through the earth and heavens,
that unique frisson caused a stir
across the whole universe,
In the mosaic stretching
from the north-pole to the south-pole
it keeps engraved the perpetual hallmark
with great grace,
In the seamless muslin of the blowing
air tier by tier
is laced precisely the adroit tapestry
of that solitary resonance,
It's trace is held with the fragrance
emanating from the florescence of time,
All over the ever-expanding space
its blooming buds are strewn
delineated with the streaks of lightning,
In all the organisms of the ocean
and every fold of the brine
the exact graphic grandeur of its culmination
is drawn exquisitely with subtle touch.
Once just the first breath of mine
growing into a turbulent typhoon
swept across the wide continent
with its boisterous billow...
But today how do you show
such sardonic bravado to deny me
in immense ignorance,
Want to flout my abiding impulse
in a sheer negligence
as the trivial flutter of a trifling butterfly?
Without my hues the azure
would not have grown so cerulean
or the fauna verdant as much-
Despite knowing all these
should you have the audacity
to negate my distinct contributions
in the vibrant soiree of this colorful world,
shall I understand,
you want the drab and dreary wilderness
to reign over the entire creation.
Look, Have I not been here,
the visage of this vast landscape
kissing the sky-line
have never turned out to be as such,
in no way.
Who knows not that my arrival
has totally changed the panorama
of the operations of nature time and again?
But for my emergence,
the propelling tempo of the world
would have fallen into a stupor
and the wheel of eternity
would have come to a grinding halt.
For my taste, you use rather a lot of old-style language ('did send forth' for 'sent forth'; 'held was its trace' for 'its trace was held') , and a lot of words that many readers would need to look up in their dictionaries. BUT you obviously love the sound of words and the flow of language, and this is a great advantage for a poet. And phrases like 'the trivial flutter of a trifling butterfly' show that you have a good control of words. A very promising start in PH.

Well Harun, I'm not going to candycoat this like the others have but consider this: You will benefit more by punctuation. Although lines runovers (without capitals) work well if used sparingly...your ideas run into themselves thus creating poetic blockage. The title is cliche...change that if I were you plus break your stanzas up a bit more so my eyes can handle reading them easier. When you've done that task then message me and I'll give you my opinion on the content. Rob
