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.
