Butterflies

[aliaspseudonym]

I had to
try to
tell you
what you
thought you
knew
so perfectly

renew
your view
of sky so blue
you knew
but didn’t see

wait and I
will lie
nearby
to spy
on fly-
ing butterflies

they fly
so high
I wonder why
they die
so far away

seems to me
that we
can be
as free-
ly
happy
here or there

maybe
way up there
they see
a thing we
cannot see
down here


do you want
to find out?

We went through an entire romanticism class without discussing an actual poem >.< So I sorta zoned out and wrote one myself.

Very nice meter. :o Kind of ethereal-seeming.
