Tessa🦋

Tessa🦋

Free form and micro poetry. Haiku. Bars. Couplets. I follow everyone who follows me. Don’t follow just to unfollow. That’s rude and not my vibe. 🦋

Change

Tessa🦋

1 min read

It’s all fun and games

Until someone gets hurt

And then nothing is the same

How feeling turn curt


Then something strange happens

Everything has changed

How did things go off course

Nothing is the same


The country that we loved

The unshakable truth

Has changed someone gloved

Lost in time to my youth...

Dog

Tessa🦋

Dog

Not a frog

Living in a bog

Nor navigating fog


House

Not a mouse

Or a louse

Needing a spouse


Crazy

A big lazy

Feeling hazy

Wearing paisley...

Tired

Tessa🦋

I’m so tired

But I can’t go to sleep

Lost in a mire

He’s such a creep


Need to be calm

Can’t stop thinking

Something is wrong

Eyes won’t stop blinking...

Pollution

Tessa🦋

1 min read

Dank and retched

Poisonous gasses

The people gather

Anger in masses


The moods are sour

Like the sewage

Thoughts are dower

No more muses


Plans of war

In the future

Live no more

Only torture...

Nothing

Tessa🦋

1 min read

Nothing and no one

here is sacred, safe or sane.

Except there is one

Where life remains the same


For the rest of us

There is chaos and insecurity

Caused by such a relentless fuss

Resulting in lack of security...

Humans

Tessa🦋

1 min read

I’ve witnessed so many things over these 200 years. Weddings, funerals, babies born, tears and laughter.


I’ve seen fighting and wars. Why is it that humans cannot be happy, and choose to live in turmoil and chaos?


It saddens me, and my fellow creatures of nature. I’ve witnessed hunting to sustain life, but not for game as with humans.


They hunt themselves and each other. I’m sad for humans. T...

Rambles

Tessa🦋

Game over

Moon rover

Fields of clover

Glad to know her


Pounding headache

Will not abate

Gnawing backache

Yelling berate


Not making sense

Blubbering nonsense

Feeling incensed

Body stressed and tense...

Walk

I just wanted to go for a normal walk

I didn’t want to fight or talk

I wanted fresh air and exercise

Not fussing and lecturing and such besides...

Child

Tessa🦋

1 min read

Bad seed

You need

To see

The evil

The Devil

I’m the eyes

Disguised

As a small child

But wild

With anger

And danger

Run away

Don’t stay...
