It gives you twelve months’ notice
More than enough time for a full-term pregnancy
Alas, even after the delivery
It still leaves butterflies in the belly
There are butterflies in my verses tonight
The delivered poems stutter in hollowness
Finding form, aiming to be firm
Long after the stitches heal
*Inspired by the image prompt
Love where the image prompt took you, Ofuma!! ‘There are butterflies in my verses tonight’
Thanks, Cristy. I trust the verses are flowing at your end…
Mostly, yes! Yours, too, I hope?
Sure. There are always new ideas for new things to be done with these poems.
