Hey, it's me Gabriel. Today I've asked some of my friends and classmates to view my blog. So far, I've got positive feedback on my work besides the usual typo here and there. Even the sub viewed it and said it was nice. And my classmates an friends said it was great. Anyhow, enough about me. I have here another poem written by me and hope you guys find it interesting. This by the way is my third submission so enjoy.



Little Butterfly

Butterfly fly, fly, fly away!
Said the little child in gray.
Fluttering its wings as though it would soar,
Reaching far in to the heavens for the angels to adore.

But the little butterfly is stranded,
Shackled to the ground.
In all its awe and splendour,
T'was confined in its makeshift pound.

The wind, the rain, the storms
Did all in their might to hamper the flight.
Of a hope that will endure forever,
truly they did, in every form of a blight.

But indeed fortune favoured the bold,
Daring was the butterfly.
It tried with all its might,
To escape bondage and take flight.

Neither effort nor strength proved true,
For the little butterfly now knew.
Lady Luck then showered smile.
In the form of a girl whose heart was blue.

Impoverished in body,
Yet affluent in her soul.
Even dressed in the gray of paupers,
Never was heart her heart with a hole.

Compassion moving the girl,
She acted freely and with tought.
Casting away the shackles,
Freedom is now at grasp, for long t'was sought.

Now little butterfly, fly away!
Flutter thy wings and live for today!
Tomorrow may yet be away,
But let fate cross our paths someday.
