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
