Poetry by Brittany

A poem by Brittany for her creative writing class:

Butterfly

Symmetrical wings flutter by,
An orange and black blur just wandering,
Appreciating all of the trees and flowers the world has to offer.
Glistening in the sunlight
No one stops to observe its true beauty.
It lives peacefully, like we all should.

Using its proboscis,
It drinks the sweet nectar from nearby daisies,
Making its beauty stand out more.

While delicately flying fast through the air,
It remains silent to express appreciation,
Showing respect to the true artist of the world.

It has gone through the transformation,
Completely broken out of its shell,
And now it has a life to live.

Like a tourist,
It soars through the day’s beautiful breeze,
Weaving its way through buildings, fields, and people,
Appreciating the new life,
Living a life we all should be.
