I missed the butterflies
the sun was shining
but they weren't there
it made a difference
true the wind was high
the temperature was not
inconsequential details
they could have done it
they didn't know I guess
that my day needed them
they never got the memo
its ok tho... they can't read
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.

This poem could be literal...or not. It has amazing pathos without being sappy. Very, very nice.
ReplyDeleteI like this poem expressing how you feel about missing the butterflies. Very sweet. I suggest the title for this poem to be butterflies.
