Hi Laurie,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It suits the poem and subject matter very well. The poem is about someone who has swallowed a butterfly or moth and it is not sitting will with their stomach. I have never swallowed anything like that. I do love butterflies coming to my garden. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The Haiku poetic form works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. You have concentrated on one main feeling here-the discomfort after swallowing an insect. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
