Butterflies are blues, oranges are oranges

What if nature could tell everything that words cannot?Peter Dom Willy invites readers on a lyrical journey through landscapes where forests, oceans, skies, and stars become reflections of the human condition. Through vivid metaphors and thought-provoking questions, each poem explores themes of identity, solitude, love, loss, hope, and the enduring desire to find one's place in the world.Throughout this anthology, symbolic characters come to life in poems such as "The Red Fox," a meditation on fear, survival, and belonging; "The Cabin," which portrays the cold left behind by absence and memory; and "The Bee and the Terrarium," a poem about affection, confinement, and the search for freedom. Together with many other works, these poems create a poetic universe filled with butterflies, sunflowers, foxes, forests, oceans, and secret gardens.Written in a style rich with imagery drawn from the natural world and profound reflections on the human experience, this anthology brings together poems that invite readers to slow down, contemplate, and discover new meaning in both life's quiet moments and its deepest uncertainties. - Madu Maia (Editor)Written by Peter Dom WillyButterflies are blues, oranges are oranges © 2026 Peter Dom WillyEdited and Translated by Madu Maia © 2026 Madu MaiaCover Design (Alternative) by Anael Medeiros © 2026 Anael Medeiros
