Butterflies
A symbol of hope, dreams, the tiny feeling in your stomachs, a delicate idea, symmetry, a weapon of mass destruction. Write a poem about anything as long as it includes butterflies (or a butterfly if your that person).

Sh, sh, sh,

They flutter with enthusiasm

Sh, sh, sh,

I swear she'll hear them

Relentless, making me jittery

Sh, sh, sh,

Anxiety go away

Sh, sh, sh,

It must be millions, billions!

I quickly lose memory

With each of their flutters

Sh, sh, sh,

Somehow forgot how to function

Sh, sh, sh,

With all these butterflies

Sh, sh, sh,

But she smiles at me

-Whispers-

And now I swear I'll explode
