Butterfly Love
Humorous Poetry for the Love in 50 Words Challenge
Love is love, no matter how clumsily expressed. Michelle Liew
***********************************************
Butterfly
That flits, it's shy
It flaps, it twirls, tumbles,
It crashes into petals--ouch!
That hurts!
***********************************************
Flower,
Bright red and soft
Swaying, waiting, hoping
Love now lands, clumsy wings flapping
Still love.
***********************************************
Young bees,
Buzzing, busy,
See the butterfly's fall--
They giggle, hum a tune
Yet love blooms.

Well-wrought! The butterfly fluttering by and the bumbling bee are as close to love as anything else could ever be!
