POEM STARTER
Write a poem that centres around the motif of butterflies.
Different species of butterflies can be symbolic of different concepts, and their behaviours and lifecycles can reflect or inspire human emotions.
Show Me My Wings
I flit between obligations
My attention fickle as the wind
I flutter here to there
Indecisive to the end
I live in fear of
tooth
tongue
rainfall and beak
How ephemeral I am
In body and in spirit
Wings around me me
Bright, lustrous, glossy in the light
Do I belong?
I'll never know;
My wings are hidden from my view
And how can I trust you'd tell me right?
