Rough Cuts (National Poetry Month Bonus - week 2)

Apr 14, 2022

This week's bonus Rough Cuts are two more of my poems for children, one a playful celebration of spring, and the other a sweet expression of love.

A butterfly

is but a shy

flower who dared to dream,

turning petals to wings

in the middle of spring

to dance upon a breeze.

I love you when you're quiet,

and when you laugh out loud.

I love that you're happy alone

and when you're in a crowd.

I love that you are thoughtful

in all you do and say.

I love everything about you, dear,

and I love you more each day.
