Butterfly Effect

A principle

Butterfly, just an insect,

For many of us,

But since 1962,

Anymore,

It was not that kind of,

An accidental word,

And was a scientific discovery,

An effect that changed the world,

Edward said,

A tiny incident or incidents,

Bring about,

A final major consequence,

To the luck or to the bad,

You take the left turn,

Take the bus 2 min late,

Reach the office,

And officer has gone out for the lunch,

You wait there for 1 hour,

You are a writing lover,

You write an essay,

Lawfully to circumvent,

Your sloth,

You don't know anything,

It's giving scholarships,

To the USA,

You are eligible,

After clicking the email,

We don't know what happens,

But BUTTERFLY do know!

#Here I meant to give an idea of Butterfly Effect. Explore more on this topic for your knowledge!

    The way you use the seemingly simple image of a butterfly to represent the complex concept of the butterfly effect is brilliant. Well done!👍✨

    This is brilliant. 'Butterfly effect' is something that caught my interest years ago and I brought from books to generals to learn about it.

    The poem’s conversational tone and fragmented structure effectively convey the complex interplay of small actions and their far-reaching consequences, mirroring the unpredictability of life.
